Instrument for multi-channel audio recording

I want to record more than two channels audio signal at the same time. Can
anybody suggest one instrument, which is readily available in the market?
For example say I have  8 microphones and I want to record all the outputs
of the microphone at the same time at 8KHz sampling rate. 
Thanks

Reju, Google on the following product names:

   MIO 2882
   Presonus FirePod
   MOTU Traveler
   Mackie Onyx 800R

Or, better yet, subscribe to the rec.audio.pro usenet group 
and look for a recent thread started with the subject:

   "8 Channel Preamp with Firewire..."

I don't think, however, that anything on the market 
currently will go down to 8 kHz.  44.1 kHz is about as low 
as it goes for such recording front ends.  Most all of these 
will require a computer.  A laptop with Firewire is the best 
bet and it doesn't have to be much of a system to record 8 
channels.

If you want to do signal processing, we have systems that have 8 channels 
in and 8 channels out.
