Optical input soundcards

Do such things exist at a reasonable price? Don't want optical out, or balanced ins. Optical or coax input please.

Ta.
Don't know about optical, but I've used MAudio Audiophile (pci) cards which were reasonably priced and I'm currently using an MAudio Firewire external card which I picked up in my local Cash Converters for about £40. Both sport coax spdif ins and outs.
im selling a little terratec 4 analogue out, 2 analogue in with additional stereo spdif in and out, and midi i/o. it was literally going on ebay tonight. Its not a bad little unit, i used it for years until i got my focusrite. £30 if you want it? Going on ebay very soon.

Terratec phase 24 firewire.
Em-u 0404... i have the pci version, but i think they stopped it for the usb box version nowdays. Less than £60 easily.
