i don't have any spare fibre, maybe dave can hook you up, let's see what he
says.  it's MIC, so maybe you even have cable, don't know.

you can keep your stinkin copper. :)

the cards are yours if you care to keep them.  they are fairly cheap on ebay
these days.

dream on. :)  ok, went and dug them out.  i have two NSI cards, and i know i 
have a Sun card in one of the machines.  i'll swap that out, and i have one of
both for you.  i don't have the sun card in hand since it's in a machine, but
here is what's on the NSI card (just to get your brain in gear)

there are three large surface mount chips on here, large letters are:

BSI2
BMAC
PLAYER+

smaller letters and numbers available upon request.
