Cheapest Way Out?

[Todzilla]

I have a hybrid Analog/ADAT studio.

I am getting an old Beige G3 Mac to run MOTU Performer for my MIDI sequencing. It occurred to me that I might want to get a modest digital audio interface for some computer based editing.

I know my machine is not up to speed for running lots of tracks of MOTU DP with effects, so my expectations are modest.

However, I'm looking to find a used soundcard with the following features:

a pair of channels SPDIF I/O
8 channels of ADAT I/O

I don't need anything higher than 48K. I don't need A/D or D/A conversion. I already have a nice MIDI Interface. I just need a high-quality, no nonsense digital interface that's PCI based and will work on a G3 Mac pre-OSX. I will be doing my recording on the hybrid Analog/ADAT system, mastering onto DAT, but I'd like the option of some modest Mac-based sound sculpting.

Can I get out for under $100?

Thanks in Advance!

Dunno much about it, but you might be able to use a EZ8 Optical Audio card for the ADAT I/O (if it supports that G3 mac) and something like an M-audio revolution for audi/spdif stuff. Still looks like $250 for both cards. Dunno if there's a specific light pipe card that also only has SPDIF.
