I run my own little business selling Hardware and Software. I can get you
a Mitsumi 2X and a MV Pro 3-D Sound card for $400 or with the Premium for
$290. I can also get you a 4X Teac and a Premium 3-D for $400. The one
drawback is neither one of these sets includes speakers. Let me know if
your interested. Good Luck.
John.
