A/D and D/A Boards for Linux?

Quadropleen+ asks: "I work in a lab where we do real time control of industrial hardware. To this point, we've been using several old A/D and D/A boards to control these processes under DOS, due to the anti-real time properties of Windows. Well, our cards are beginning to fail, and we're looking for replacements. I've been trying to get my advisor to move to Linux, and I see this as a great opportunity to leverage a better OS onto our machines. Does anyone have suggestions/experience with using A/D & D/A boards with Linux? What are the best and worst ones out there?"

Axiom Data Acquisition Boards

Back in the day, I used to work w/ Axiom D/A & A/D boards. They have PC104, PCI, & ISA cards. We had our best results with Axiom products. They would go through hell and back, were quite forgiving of bad wiring (after 48 hours straight, wire colors can start to merge together), were alot cheaper then other solutions of the time, and we had quite good luck getting support from them.

A quick glance through their site www.axiomtek.com, I came across a 16 channel board that supports "Red Hat Linux kernel version 2.2.X - AX509SP.

Might want to give these guys a look...
