I am interested in experimenting with a controller board at home and thus on a limited budget.  I understand that there are systems available allowing code compiled with Borland C++ / Microsoft C to be run on controllers using the same instruction set.  Can anyone suggest a hardware / software combination which will meet the following requirements:

1.	Ability to use object files developed with Borland C++.
2.	A/D on board.
3.	Digital I/O on Board.
4.	Relatively low cost.

I understand that such a solution may not be cheap but I would like to achieve as low a cost as possbile.  I idenfied one source which had a relatively cheap board but the necessary software to allow Borland C++ / Microsoft C development and debug was on the order of $500.00.
