I' ve been trying to find a speech digitizer for a PS/2 (MCA architecture), but have been told by dealers (in Britain) that no such thing exists. Does anyone know if this is really true? Any information on speech boards for MCA PS/2s would be much appreciated ... (I actually read this news group, so replies here would be fine!)

Many of the companies that make data aquisition cards for the AT bus are
now begining to make the same type boards for the PS/2. I would recomend
a company named Metrobyte. There are others, but I do not have any data handy.
Your best bet is to check out a magzine called: Personal Engineering & Instru-
mentation news, Reader Service Dept., Box 300, Brookline, MA 02146. They
cater to data aquisition.
IBM also makes a card! They recently announced what they call "The Audio/
Video connection" (or something like that). Although most A/D cards sample
8 differential or 16 single ended signals at 50kHz or greater and with 12
bit resolution, I get the impression that the IBM board is a 2 channel,
8 bit, 10kHz/ch. audio I/O board. I'm not sure of the specs, as their product
announcement is WORTHLESS from a technical standpoint, but I am sure that it
is designed to be a stereo audio recorder/playback board that connects straight
to your stereo. Price is aroung $495, BUT . . it takes LOTS of RAM, and the
SOFTWARE is another $495.00. Good luck.
