Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

(1) What would the usb interface do? 
(2) With the audio plug, would the external audio in appear as a ROM Instrument?
(3) With the audio plug, would there be 4 external audio ins (possibly appearing as 4 discrete ROM instruments)?
(4) Is there any risk that the levels of the uadio ins would damage the E-Mu?
Thanks.
Steve
