I just acquired a Measurement Computing PCI4020/12 ADC/DAC board,
and am looking for Linux drivers... so I'm very interested to see what 
you came up with...

By The Way... I'm into GPL, so, are you sharing under similar license?
I would intend that if I took anything from you and modified it that it 
would be contributed back to the community under GPL.
