7i87 is a +-10vdc analog input card. Connects on the sserial connectors of say a 7i77. http://store.mesanet.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=126
There's at least 3 ways to use a 7i77. I think pci 5i25, pcie 6i25 and ethernet (7i80 or something close to that). http://store.mesanet.com/index.php?route=product/product&filter_name=7i80&product_id=59 There are 2 7i80's (-16 and -25), not sure of the difference. Seems like a 7i77 would solve a bunch of your input/output req'ts. Many options.
