I would like to hear from anybody who knows of any manufacturers out there
who make fast ADCs.  By fast I mean 100MSPS or faster.  For example, some
colleagues of mine have been using the TKAD20C from Tektronix which is an
8-bit 250MSPS chip.  However, this appeared back in 87 so I'm quite certain
newer technology has appeared since then.

If anyone (especially company representatives) can direct me to some
ADCs along with their respective manufacturer, please let me know.  We
are in the process of designing a high speed spectral signal indicator
(ala spectrum analyzer) and I am presently evaluating the hardware
currently available on the market.  I'd also appreciate any comments on
the DSP board I've selected which is the Viper 8704 from Impact Technologies.

For those interested, I will gladly post a summary of any comments and
replies I've received.  Thanks in advance for your time.
