Gang,

        I am working on a new application that requires joystick input from
a high quality joystick.  This is done with an ADC card and some digital I/O
lines (for buttons).  I am looking for a card that is easy to use that has
at least two channels of analog input of at least 12 bits each and at least
eight lines of digital I/O.  Can anyone recommend any particular card for
this application?  Any options that include source for an RTLinux driver are
greatly preferred. :-)

        I am also looking for an eight-port serial board.  Can anyone
recommend a board for use with either straight Linux or rt_comm or,
preferably, both?  I would really like to find a board that uses the same
IRQ / port sharing / mapping scheme as the base four ports of the PC
architecture.  That way it would be pretty simple to extend the rt_comm
stuff to handle the additional ports.  If anyone has done anything like this
or can recommend a card, I would love to hear about it.

        I can obviously find many references to boards from the likes of
Data Translations, Computerboards, etc.  What I am looking for is
testimonials to ease of use or cards for which drivers are available.  I
know about Comedi, but I am not really interested in having additional
framework - I just want something small and tight to read the channels and
buttons when I want the input.

        Both of these cards need to be PCI cards for the standard IBM-PC
architecture.

Regards,

Steve Cohen
