John,

You might want to look at the BASIC Language Processor card by 
Hewlett-Packard.  It drops into a 286 or 386 machine (currently
only the HP Vectra and two or three specific clones are supported),
has an HP-IB bus out the back, and can hold several Mb of RAM on 
board.  Many people have successfully used it for data collection.
The BASIC language on the board is _very_ robust and tailored
for very fast I/O.  What's more, the processor board can run
in the background while you run your DOS applications in the 
foreground.  

Please forgive the commercial.  I just think you would do 
yourself a favor to at least check out this card.
