programming project question

[David Eduardo Gomez Noguera]

Hello.
There is a small LUG in my university, and i was thinking to start a
project on it.
It would be simply making a digital osciloscope (with the computer).
I have programmed the serial port to communicate with an hc11, and with
a signature device once, and i think i could do the same for any other
serial device for which i have acces to data sheets.
I know an osciloscope can be done programming the sound card, but the
information about sound cards programming is confusing (since there are
so many), and i have never programmend for it before.
Do you know where can i go and see how I could program the sound card,
or if i would be messing with already running sound drivers, or have an
extra sound card not enabled, and program at the lowest level for it?
and if so, what is a good resource for soundcard programming?

Or if it would be better to do it with some micro or another (which i
think would be just as fun).

Any advices would be appreciated. bye bye!
