Just a small postscript:  National Instruments (of LabView fame) makes a
PCMCIA card (DAQCard 700) which features 16 single-ended/8 differential
inputs, 100 kS/s sustained sampling rate, 512-sample FIFO, self-calibrating,
16-digital I/O, 2 counter/timers, NI-DAQ Library.  They also make many
boards for instrumentation and process control, but I don't know the full
line of PCMCIA stuff.  Their number is 512-794-0100 to get more info.  I
have no connection with NI, but I'm nuts about LabView.
