Meredith,

I did get one of the free AD from Dataq.  The problem is that 8 bits is 
just not enough
for seismology purposes.  Also, the gain is low, so even for a seismology 
demonstration
using a small geophone one would need an amplifier.   If you want to try it 
out, I'll
give it to you.

I've not tried out the diamagnetic carbon disks yet.  So many projects and 
so little time.
