I'm new to the list and this is my first
post, so be nice to me please!!!

I have been looking at PCMCIA cards for data 
acquisition and the news is not good.  
Basically I have been finding that a decent
entry level card is going to run $450-$700 depending
on number of channels and bits.

At some level, for what I am working on, it is 
a "gotta have", but the dollars are starting to 
add up fast!!!
