Jerry, sounds great!!  I normally work at much higher rates (20MSPS
@10-16 bits) but yes, the units often don't live up to claims.  One
company that has a good reputation is Data Translation, 100 Locke Drive,
 Marlboro, MA 017
Marlboro MA 01751-1192 (508)481-3700, (800)525-8528.  PCs are nice machines bu
but not optimum for signal processing.  You may want to look into a
TI TMS320 board to plug in for your neural process.  You are right, they
aren't cheap.  That is what prvents me from automating my hives.  I
recently saw an ad for a building sensor that sounded interesting since
they could be daisy-chained.  Well this is probably getting to be too
much electronics discussion for a beekeeping list.  Contact me directly
if you are interested in pursuing this further.  I would be very interested
in reviewing your design.
