I need testers. Whoops, sorry. 8( > P.S. If somebody knows where I can get a Macronix 98713 card (that's > 98713, _NOT_ 98713A) or has one they aren't using, please get in > touch with me.

I was actually looking for these the other day for FTL. Unfortunately the same white-box supplier I got the last one from (went to Matt Thomas) is now shipping cards using the ASIX AX88140.
