(I've just started following this group . . .)

We have an application where we would like to digitize two simultaneous
data streams with 8-bit resolution at 100kHz sampling rate, plus one or
two auxiliary channels at 4-bit resolution at the same rate.
This needs to be done continuously for about two hours at a time, so
we need to output to a device that will accept that sustained data rate and
have sufficient capacity.  Current SCSI 8mm tape drives should do the
job.  Does anyone know of A/D hardware/software that we could use,
preferably with an ISA PC?  The board would need to be able to handle
a direct SCSI connection to the 8mm storage device.

Thanks for any pointers.
