Hello,
that's great news - I'd love to do that - buy the housing only, stuff the card in, done! I have the AN PLG card in my CS6R, but have hardly used it, becuase of this host stuff making it a pain to work with it. Actually, after having bought an AN1x, I have not used it at all.
BUT
That kit/housing would have to be real cheap, ie below $150, not GBP150 - the AN200's go for $150-$200, so it doesn't really make sense to shell out much for the kit - better to sell the card ($50?$100?) to someone who loves tedious operations, and buy the AN200 for.
Regards
HC
