Hmm, I am sure there are several but I can only think of one at the moment.  
I have their card here someplace.  They are here in Florida - Orlando as I 
recall.  I will try to look 'em up and pass it along to you.  I have been 
burning my own CDs and if I need them duplicated, I would probably send that 
instead of the MiniDisk.
