I'm looking for an inexpensive, high resolution, audio-domain A to D
converter for a Mac II. Ideally, it will have 2 channels, 16 bits, >44KHz
sampling rate, SCSI or NuBuss interface, programmable gain, high linerarity,
and cost <$500. One channel would really do the trick, and I could
live with 14 bits if it were substantially cheaper. Other interfaces
would also be OK. Below are the systems I know about. Does anybody
out there know of any other options? Suggestions might include:
plans, chip sets, kits, used equipment sources, etc. Thanks for
any help you can offer.

For a MAC II NuBus A/D converter for CD speed type devices, see Modern Electronics (September 1988) page 16. It is not < $500.00 though. Southworth Music Systems, Harvard, MA. $1400.00, they also have a DSP card for $1400.00 and a SMPTE card for $995.00. Here's your chance to empty out the bank account...
