I purchased a kit from Labtronics. Now I have to find the time to soder it together, as our American friends would say.


It was about $138, and has a 40-pin 84F877 or some such on board. This 
has an a-channel, 10-bit A-D converter. The board also has 4 relays, and 
a bunch of other gear on it, plus it comes with the Windows (;-() devel 
kit with simulator etc.
