Sludgedragon, I looked on Mac Tracker and they say the Lombard has a stereo 1/8" Line-in jack. But it could also be used as a Microphone in. If you aren't getting sound on one channel, check the connection. It could be the cable or the jack itself. If the jack feels loose or has a lot of play, you could have a bad solder joint between that jack and the logic board.
Try a different cable. Sometimes you may run into a cable that is built wrong and has a short in the wire. Once wiring and hardware are ruled out, then move to the software and settings.
First off, remember that Sound settings in the Control Panel of Mac OS can't be changed when Coaster is up and running. You will need to quit the program before going back into the Control Panel. Once you have the Sound control panel open, go to the input section and select either "Line In" or "Sound Input". Check mark both 'Play sound through output device' and 'Check sound level'.* Set the gain to about half way or until sound peaks at almost into the red on the meter. Once everything is set, exit the Control Panel.
Run Coaster, and make sure you're monitoring the recording and the gain is set so that it doesn't overload.

*This only applies to Mac OS versions prior to OSX. Also, be aware that even though OS9 can recognize and use a Griffin iMic, it won't work all the time. That is why it must be used strictly in OSX.
