I want to do a thermal profile of the different rooms in my house. Anyone have any recommendations on a DATA ACQUISITION board for an ibm compatible? Or a good source for this hardware?

Try the A-Bus system. Advertisements are always in BYTE magazine.
I've used the PC gameport to measure temperature in up to four rooms. It is
an inexpensive alternative. For more info on doing this, see my shareware
disk "The Home Control Primer." It has programs and info on home automation
and environmental monitoring. If you have the X-10 interface (for turning
on/off lights and appliances) there are a couple of neat programs that work
with the X-10.
The Home Control Primer is distributed by user groups and by shareware
distributors. Here's a couple places you might check:
Velvet Software MicroTechnology Winner's Edge Software
P.O. Box 94 21 Vintage Drive P.O. Box 233

The disk may be obtained from the above sources for a small fee (or for
free from other sources) but the programs are shareware. Try before
you buy!

To the someone who e-mailed a request for the info I gathered: I somehow zapped your e-mail and so cannot respond. Sorry. If you send me another request, I promise to not be so careless! Sue
