mini jacks are standard on computer sound cards, unless you look at
"pro" equipment which is more expensive. An if you do find anything
with RCA phono or XLR's thats "consumer" then the Signal/noise ration
u'll probably make it a waste of money....

(I'm assuming you've an MD deck, (port-ies don't have digi out))
Save the MD "a.t.r.a.c.ing" and some time. connect the record deck to
the MD record-in, connect the MD Digitally to the sound card. Hit
record on the MD deck with no disc inserted and the "record source" set
to analogue The MD deck should work as a ADC thus passing on a digital
signal to the computer, avoiding the noisy computer analogue input.
