Yeah, at least for this initial prototype I was probably going to use
the ADC-24 but I was hoping for more than a proof of concept shell
script and that's all they have (I checked).  I can certainly do my own
but I've never done more than basic ADC stuff before so it will be a 
learning experience.  I don't really seem to hear about the -16 and -24
from anyone out there so I wasn't sure if they were recommended or if
something better existed.

Thanks
