[UK-CONTEST] USB Sound Cards

[Mark Simpson]

Hi Chris,

I am not sure about the "50mm diameter" variety you have seen.... but a few
of us from our local club use Creative Labs USB External Soundcard SB0270
with our Microham MicroKeyers.... We purchased them from Argos for approx.
£30.00   I've just had a look in the latest Argos catalogue, and it appears
that the model we have has now been superseded by a fancier one with 5.1
surround support - so I can't vouch for that.

It would be interesting to see if anyone knows of the 50mm diameter
variety.... There are quite a few of these things on the market now... they
are designed to give laptops better sound quality than the inbuilt
functionality.
