Nacho,

Take a look at RTiC-Lab:

http://www.rtic-lab.org

for implementing your controller.

In terms of latencies, PCI can supposedly have sustained throughputs of:

((your bus frequency)/2 * 4 )  Megabytes/sec.

For example, a 66Mhz bus will have:

(66/2) * 4 = 132 MB/sec

In ISA you can have, at most, a BURST of 5MB/sec

In USB it should be higher than PCI, but I have no handle on that
number.

I hope that this helps.

What exactly is the sampling rate that you are trying to achieve for
your controller?
