Possibly at the Pomona show, although I think these days you will mostly see either the
dirt-cheap, no-name, Asian knock-offs there, *or* the fancy, pricey, multi-channel SB cards.
For sure you'll be able to find a large selection of the older, basic SB Live cards (albeit
mostly used ones) on Ebay. Something like that, with no moving parts, I think is a low risk,
esp. if the price is right and the seller seems reliable.

To the best of my recollection, the usual answer given here has been that the latter is
sufficient, and the former probably overkill.
