Raymond, Check out computerboards.com. They have a good selection of cards at very reasonable prices. They have both ISA and PCI cards. I would check with the comedi hardware list to make sure there is a driver before buying. Comedi has a long list of supported cards. I have used their products over the years and I have been quite happy with the results.

I'm looking for a good data acquisition card, 8 differential inputs, 8 to 16 digital I/O channels, counter/timer chip for playground material. I need it to work in both a Wintel (aarghh!) and RTLinux environment (and, of course, not at the same time :>) Gonna try to configure an energy management system. The reason for "Wintel" is in case I fall flat, and end up with an RTL flavored development curve that becomes asymptotic, I gotta have a start at results fairly soon. I can do RTL along the asymptote after the system is up, if need be. Doesn't have to be fast, 12 or 16 bit A/D is cool. 0-10 VDC input range needed. Sample rate is 2 channels per second (no speed demon here....) Something for which the Linux/RTLinux drivers are readily available, and is ISA bus compatible. I got a bunch of 486's and 166 mhz pentium CPU's to pick from for the host, and little of it has any PCI sockets to speak of.. If anyone has a recommendation, testimonial, or cautionary tale to convey please advise at your convenience. Thanks and regards, Raymond C.
