If you are planning to write a driver, please base it on the current CVS 
version of Comedi.

In principle, you can use any bus you like. For exanple, there are some 
USB and PCMCIA devices supported by Comedi.

So do you connect to the controller card over a serial port?  If so you 
could base your driver on the serial2002 driver, but that driver has 
been marked with the status "in development" since 2002, so might not be 
much help, especially for 2.6 kernels.
