Hiya mate. Sorry for the delay in replying - I've been away. I have a 2 port
PCIEX1 card you can have to see if It's what you want. One of the ports has a
bit of flaked off plastic but still works fine. It'll certainly do for testing.
Get in touch through the usual channel and I'll send it to you.
RIB.
