Hi all,

Two firms that offer analog to digital converters which attach
via standard serial ports are

B&B Electronics Manufacturing Company
PO Box 1040
Ottowa, IL 61350
http://www.bb-elec.com
voice 815 433-5100
FAX   815 434-7094

and

DGH
BO Box 5638
Manchester, NH 03108
voice 603 622-0452
FAX 603 622-0487

I've had little contact with B&B (they answered some questions
for me) and none at all with DGH. B&B seems to offer lower
prices, DGH offers a more informative catalog.

No connection to either, but I'm curious as to how well their 
converters work. B&B's devices are slow, say, 30 Hz at 8 bit,
DGH's are even slower though at higher resolution.
