No other SDII extension far as I know. Even if their is I would expect it to work on either. Obviously you don't have a mac handy to try them on. I assume they do have a proper size to them that sounds reasonable? Are they a size matched stereo pair? They're not stuffit compressed or something are they? That's always possible????....

All this talk of the Rane PI14 reminded me of an April fool's joke review that I actually fell for in the early 80's. (hell... I was young, and this was around the time when the development of digital sampling, and synths in general, was progressing in leaps and bounds). I think it was "Electronic Musician", that reviewed the cumbersome looking machine, which could tap into your brain, (via electrodes, I think,) and could produce an approximation of any sound you could be imagining at the time.
