I'm still using IBM AT 286 class machines with the very old IBM D/A 12-bit 
cards. I've lost a few power supplies over the years and a CGA monitor or 
two. The real issue is that the 12-bit cards I have will not work on a 386 
machine or above... I plan on moving to Larry's setup next year.

I second the thought that a dedicated data logging computer need not be an
expensive proposition.  I just bought a very nice 350 mhz machine, complete
with monitor, for $25.  I'm already using a much older, much slower machine
for data collection (dedicated to the application), with absolutely no
problem.  I would probably run it under MSDOS, but it is so handy to have 
it
hanging on my home network so I run Windows 98 to get the networking
functions.
