I have an old Ampex SASI card for the PC that you're welcome to.  It 
has a BIOS EPROM, but you'll have to figure out how it works--I 
haven't much more than a pinout on the 50-pin header on it--but it's 
all MSI TTL 7400 stuff; no PALS or ROMS.  But you can also get a data 
acquisition board with several 8255s on it in either ISA or PCI and 
just use that (I know that some hate the 8255, but it shouldn't be a 
problem in this application).

If you have ISA slots, building a SASI adapter is easy with a 
prototype card that does all of the signal decoding for you.

Cheers,
Chuck
