You could try purchasing just the base TDM410 card and move your old modules
over from the old card to the new.  A little looking around has revealed
somebody selling a "like new" card for $139:

The TDM410 is a better card than the TDM400, both because it has a better PCI
mastering chip, as well as because it uses a technology called VoiceBus(tm) to
deliver better performance when interrupts are missed, an event that the old
TDM400 and TDM400 clones cannot handle without causing audio quality issues.

Full disclosure, here:  I do work for Digium, which makes the TDM410.  I'll
additionally make the guarantee that if the card doesn't work for you, I'll
buy the TDM410 base card from you, for the same price that you paid.  How's
that for a no-risk offer?
