Sorry to take so long responding but I fianally found an old Creative Labs
sound card
with the Sony/Panasonic/Mitsumi connectors for $4.00 and will be searching
the web
for the drivers. Looking at the board, it does look like a lot of
electronics associated
with just the Sony/Panasonic connectors with not so much on the Mitsumi
connector.

Thanx, Winston
