I just received a mailer from a company called Computer Discount. They sell
almost everything that was ever made for the Amiga.  In this mailer,
they advertised two boards made by a company called ACDA.  One of the boards
was an IEE-488 controller for the zorro-2 bus. It uses the NEC 7210 controller
as I recall, and lists for $495 which includes some documentation and source
code examples for programming.  The other board was called PK40 and is a 
12-bit D/A A/D board with 16 digital IO lines.  The diagram showed the board
hooking into the Zorro bus, but the picture of the board distinctly looked
like a Data Translation PC board.  No maximum acquisition speed was given,
but I think that it is 40KHz.  The price for this board was $1895.
