I am looking for a sound digitizer for IBM-PCs.  I am currently
recording sounds quite nicely on the Macintosh using a digitizer from
Impulse Inc.  It comes with a digitizer box and software to allow
recording, playback and editing of sounds.

For the PC, I am hoping for something like:

  - A card that plugs into an IBM-PC and allows recording and playback
    of sounds from either a microphone or audio input.

  - Drivers for the card which will allow access from C or Pascal.

  - Recording time of at least one minute at 8K samples/sec.

  - A sound editing program that lets one cut and paste sounds and
    do transformations (amplify, reverse, smooth) on sounds.

  - I would like the files from this device to be easy to manipulate:
    i.e. 8 bit signed amplitudes, rather than CVSD or some highly
    encoded format.

  - It would also be nice if it worked under SCO Xenix, but that is 
    not critical at this point.

If you have seen such a device or anything like it, please drop me a
line.  

All leads gratefully accepted, and I will summarize responses for the
interested. 

Thanks.
