A spacer would help hold the card in place. The spdiff connections would be covered though. In some of the cases I have seen the card hold down is a separate bar and could be mounted higher. That is not a too outrageous mod if you look at something like this: http://www.jrigg.co.uk/elec/interface.html The other plan... perhaps more outrageous is to put both cards in the old computer and use netjack to turn it into an Ethernet audio interface... I won't even try to explain that one... though if I had the systems I wouldn't mind trying it out. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
