 Our user group (in PHX AZ) did a group project to build a digitizer,
One EE with a regular day job designed a board, we pooled money to get
a local house to do the art work for the board for around $20 per board.
Then with about $25 worth of fairly standard parts (and about 6 hours
of sodering and snipping) we had a nice sterio digitizer.  I spend
another 20 bucks at radio shack for a pretty box and knobs, and viola

 There was nothing secret about it, it is a fairly simple A/D circuit.
 I don't know what you mean by "not enough horses to use it" it works
 fine and is compatible with perfect sound software.
