thanks for these options.  the weiss adc 2 seems a bit too expensive for our
operation.  the benchmark a/d converter seems pretty good, though there was a
recent recall period.  benchmark was listing it at abt. $1500.  does this seem
about right?  is there a supplier who may be cheaper?
thanks again,
mark
