[TenTec] FS:SignaLink USB Sound Card

Yes I understand that the O2 is an 8 pin socket.  So is the Orion Classic which I use here in 
addition to a Pegasus, etc.  The 5 pin connector on my interface plugs directly into the 8 pin 
socket on the Orion and works perfectly.  I wasn't very clear on that point.  sorry.  Comparing 
the Pegasus, etc connector pin assignments to those of the Orion explains why it works.
