I picked up a cheap ($10) unit from the local computer store - I think they have dual port cards and I can already see I'm going to be adding more signals than my PCI slots will allow with single port cards so I'll probably go back. Just about any card should work - the wiki explains finding the address (lspci -v) of the card to use with your setup files just picking which addresses are required to input for the card are kind of confusing (I had to input 2 of the 3 addresses it spat out with the above command). It might take a little experimenting but with halscope it's not hard to check the whole port.
