I need a card for an IBM PC capable of generating the waveforms for controlling an RC model. Something with an 8254 timer chip would be sufficient. An extra serial port on the board would also be useful, but is not essential. Does such a thing exist off-the-shelf? John Nagle

On page 338 of the September, 1988 BYTE magazine there is an advertisement for a "waveform synthesizer" card for IBM PC/XT/AT and compatibles. It generates user-definable signals with up to 2000 points per envelope. It costs $795. You probably don't need this kind of generality, but you may want to inquire if they have what you want.
