I have a Sony DTC-750 DAT player with an optical output
connector in the back. I want to connect it to a Windows
XP machine via a PCMCIA card to transfer DAT recordings.
It's not a S/PDIF connector.

While I can't tell for sure, it is likely that the connector is a 3.5 mm
stereo headphone jack with an optical interface at the bottom. The plug
that works with it looks like a 3.5 mm headphone plug with an extended,
frosted tip.

The optical signal is standard toslink, its just that the connector is a
little different.

Does anyone know a card
that can be purchased to make this connection?

Any card that handles toslink. You just need an appropriate interconnect,
which should be around with a little googling.
