I just had to look... and sure enough they do exist:

May require some case modification, but the connector on the 1010 looks

low enough maybe not. 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:

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.
