National Instruments has already announced NuBus boards for the Mac II
that will do 12-bit d-to-a and a-to-d at rates up to about 100 ksamples/
sec.  One of their techies told me that another board is in the works
that will do dual-channel a-to-d and d-to-a at 16-bits and at sampling 
rates up to 48k.  He claimed the board would have anti-aliasing filters
and some other goodies which I can't remember.  

I would guess that a number of such products will be announced before
the year is out.
