Thanks a bunch!
Sorry for what I'm about to do below (i.e. discussing non TS boards)

I've been searching around and I found some different boards but none
with AD/DA converters on them. Tincantools have their Hammer Kit which
has a lot of digital IO but no AD. Embeddedartists have some educational
boards with one or two analog inputs but they seem hard-wired to
trim-pots so I'm not really sure about those either. I want one or two
analog inputs and maybe on or two analog outputs.
I guess i can live with adding my own AD/DA converters but it would be
nice to have as much as possible already prepared so TS seems a good
alternative, if it's possible to avoid MMU stuff that is. Does anyone
know If it is easy to program the MMU (or what it's called) to not
interfear?

Ok, thanks for the heads up. It is things like that that I'm really
interested in knowing beforehand.
