It might be better to consider buying a ready-made one at just $199 instead, e.g. from: ProBoard Circuits 100 Market Street, unit 16 Galveston, TX 77550 Ph: (409) 762-5436 Fax: (409) 762-4167 Contact: Mani Omid It features 24 channels, 50 MHz sampling speed, a PC based user interface (VGA), an RS232 link to host (w/ documented command set), programmable trigger, and, one year warranty. So, why settle for less? By the way, they recently have announced that the new boards even are capable of working as pattern generators. Dieter Klopsch dk@zwoka.cam.rhein-ruhr.de ---
