Is it possible to use 2 Mboxes?

[Cerulean]

I'd like make a 4-track recording, so I connected 2 Mboxes to my pc, but apparantly Pro Tools ignores the second Mbox.
I looked around in the Setup windows, but I can't find that second Mbox anywhere. Is this just a limitation by Pro Tools or am I doing it all wrong?
It just seems so logical that it would be possible, since Pro Tools refers to the first Mbox as 'Mbox A', which makes it likely that there can also be a Mbox b, c, etc...

Thanks a lot in advance, and sorry for my crappy English

Unfortunately it is not possible to do this. Protools only works with one Digidesign interface at a time. You can record two tracks first and then the next two and so on until you used the 32 track limit. In other words you don't have to record all the tracks simultaneously. There is a music production toolkit available for $495.00 USD that raises the track limit to 48 tracks. Another option is to get a digital mic pre that will give you two more analog inputs (left and right) via the SP/DIF I/O.

Yes, But you need two PTLE computers making one master and the other as slave. Then utilizing midi start & stop messages to control the mbox being slaved.

technically it is possible.

Alright, thanks for the replies.
I know I can record in several takes, that's not the problem, it's just that I'd like to record a multitrack session at a rehearsal with my band.
I do have a 8 channel PA, so I guess I'll just have to mix it in the PA, and send its output to the Mbox and record just one track. It's not ideal but I don't see another way.
