I strongly recommend that anyone looking into this technology for PC check out the Watson Board, from Natural MicroSystems (Natick, MA). They have an excellent, inexpensive product, which outperforms some much more expensive boards. The board has digitization from 12kbs to 32kbs, an option VAR interface for MS-C, Lattice-C, a resident driver for interfaces from other languages. I've developed an Ethernet server for this board fairly quickly with their help. Overall, I'm very impressed with the product. If you want to get in touch with them, call (617)-655-0700 and ask for Bob Panov. After July 15th, the area code changes to 508.
