A thought...

     I have tried using a sounblaster for sampling, and believe me it was 
     less than ideal for low frequency stuff, and its very sensitive to 
     noise.  We tried using it for noise cancellation system in a car, and 
     it just didn't work for those very low road noises you get.
     
     Anyway, I just saw a writeup on a PC/104 card from DGE Systems PTY 
     LTD.  Takes 586, 486 DX2 and DX4, so you can use the 120MHz 586.  Uses 
     only +5V since it has a built in 3.3V regulator.  Size is 90x96mm.  
     Has two RS232 ports, one which can be converted to RS485.  Has 
     parallel port configured as Centronics, mouse, keyboard and speaker 
     ports.  Standard PC interrupts, DMA controllers and timers.  No price 
     mentioned.
     
     Hope this is of interest.

Gentlemen, gentlemen, a minor thought from the peanut gallery.
     
Ever heard of soundblaster 16 cards.  Carry TWO each 16 bit digital 
to analog and TWO each analog to digital converters. Daaaaaaaaaa 
Costs about 70 bucks -  can convert or generate almost any wave 
form from very low frequency to at least 20,000 + hertz.  Line in and 
line out jacks expect 0 to 1 volt signal.  Everywhere in the electronic 
world people are using them for OTHER than just sound cards. If you
are good like me you can put two or more of them in a system.
