Bill, you might consider a USB audio interface instead of a PCI card. Like this one ... http://www.long-mcquade.com/?page=products&ProductsID=8760 Long & McQuade has it for $33. But most PCs have built-in 16-bit audio hardware. Unless it's really atrocious noisy h/w, it'll probably do the trick for you. 1/8" stereo plug to a pair of RCA phono plug cables are available everywhere for peanuts. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
