As said on the announcement, the DB50XG daughter board it's a rare piece of junk these days. You can only find it on Ebay as any soundcard providing a waveblaster connector that you sure need to plug it in.

Most if not all of my boxes have one of these, usually piggy-backed on a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz PCI sound card. It works perfect. But I do also have a pair of those stand-alone, for the laptops, in good ol'solder-iron-DIY-way from an Elektor magazine PCB design (ca. July 97 IIRC).

BTW, there's a German company, I guess located in Karlsruhe (geist-electronic.de), that sells all parts, PCB and custom metal casing for you to revive this precious nineties project, if you wish power back on your soldering iron. I'll post here the URL as soon as I bring it down from the dusty attic. It's a German-only bargain but, as they used to say, Google is your friend.

[UPDATE:] There it is: http://server4.gs-shop.de/200/cgi-bin/shop.dll?AnbieterID=9187&Seite=frameset.htm, only you have to do is search for "db50xg" (in Suche / Suchbegriff(e):)
