        Math would be cool.  A telephone line interface would be nice.  Sound
digitizing, of course, is expected.  16-bit A/D and D/A for _true_ CD-quality
sound would be nice.

        I'm not a programmer, but I'd buy a card or (maybe) two.

        Which chip would you be considering?  Are you looking at the Motorola
56001, or a different one?
