    I am in need of a digital-to-analog converter for my Mac+.  I've seen the
ads in the hind-sections of MacWorld and MacUser for MacParq or some such data
acquisition hardware, but at $1000+, I decided my need had a limit.

    None the less, a D/A converter is needed.  Unless anyone out there in
NetLand knows of a source for cheap (in any sense of the word, really)
converters, please EMail me.  Otherwise, I guess I'll do the proper thing and
attempt to build one myself.

    The plans so far are to build a serial-parallel
converter (since Mac+ outs are serial, right?) and run that into a D/A IC. 
This output gets amplified, and that's the converter.

    Comments/suggestions are always appreciated, as are schematics.
