Hi
First of all thanks for the answer!
Ive been writing some programms in the last 2 days and have come up 
with some questions:

First of all im using a timer thats working nicely...till about 100 
Hz, and after that it just fixes at 100 Hz, doesnt matter what i set 
for the timer. Im also having the feeling this isnt really Realtime 
in debian, should i patch the kernel with the Real Time OS?

In the end the system should be running a neural network signal 
analysis programm. This means alot of FFTs and other mathematical 
functions will be used, and I need this as fast as possible. I think 
ill be sampling at about 200 Sps.

Another thing, since the onboard ADC isnt really great with 12 bits 
resolution, im thinking of using an external PIC microcontroller with 
a 24bit AD Converter and connecting it over USB to the TS-7260. Now i 
know there are USB drivers for Windows, and USB .dll for Windows, but 
i have no clue about driver development for Linux, is there any 
documentation about this anywhere?

And last but not least, is there a backgroundworker (like in C#) that 
always runs in the background but doesnt lock the programm. For 
instance im using TCP sockets and connecting to the server, but if it 
doesnt connect it just locks and waits for connection. It would be 
nice to let this run in the background, always waiting for connection.

Thanks alot for your help
