Many of the companies that make data aquisition cards for the AT bus are
now begining to make the same type boards for the PS/2.  I would recomend
a company named Metrobyte. There are others, but I do not have any data handy.
Your best bet is to check out a magzine called: Personal Engineering & Instru-
mentation news, Reader Service Dept., Box 300, Brookline, MA 02146. They
cater to data aquisition.

IBM also makes a card! They recently announced what they call "The Audio/
Video connection" (or something like that). Although most A/D cards sample
8 differential or 16 single ended signals at 50kHz or greater and with 12
bit resolution, I get the impression that the IBM board is a 2 channel,
8 bit, 10kHz/ch. audio I/O board. I'm not sure of the specs, as their product
announcement is WORTHLESS from a technical standpoint, but I am sure that it
is designed to be a stereo audio recorder/playback board that connects straight
to your stereo. Price is aroung $495, BUT . . it takes LOTS of RAM, and the
SOFTWARE is another $495.00. Good luck.
