h**p://regpro.mechatronik.uni-linz.ac.at/downloads/pat1/Tutorium/DS1104.pdf is a pci based card, you have a few ways of going about this, one contact the manufacturer, and see if there is a usb alternative or, go to thrift stores and see if there is a computer. Depends on the location you live in, you could troll around your neighborhood for tossed computers, if they have a usb and ethernet port, grab it. most may be missing the hard drive, but installing a drive and an os is not hard to do. check locally the day garbage is collected, found some usable systems that way.
