Suggestions for PCMCIA DAQ cards for Linux please

[Gauss]

I'm looking for PCMCIA cards with Linux support, which ones would u recommend? I took a look at the NI site to see for products available with these features and there are 3 cards, 2 a little expensive and one cheaper. I dunno if there are more, that's why I'm asking. Any feedback from experienced people with these cards on Linux would make me happy.

Price is not a drawback, but I think I don't need something really expensive. It's supposed to be used with a set of sonars (polaroid 6500), range ultrasonic sensors

Thanks

According to this page:

It doesn't look like PCMCIA devices are supported in NI-DAQmx for Linux. But

this does seem a little unusual.

Comedi has support for a number of PCMCIA and "DAQCard" devices. But I've never

tried their drivers myself.

I have LabView for Linux 7.0 with DAQmx 8 and DAQmx base installed. I'd been meaning to check if my DAQCard-6024E would be recognized and your posted prompted me to do so this morning.

It turns out the card is not recognized by either DAQmx 8 or Base.

I think your best bet is to get your minimum hardware requirements (Digital and Analog channels; how many and at what rate?) and then go from there.
