Re: 8 ds analog inputs?
It looks to me like the Enhanced I/O will allow you to read 8 channels. Remember that the voltage range is 3.3 though. The DS supports the FT and HID joysticks, so another option is to have a joystick that is really analogs. I think there is a limit of six continuous per joystick, so you'd need multiple. The CCI from eStoprobotics may work for you.

Also keep in mind that the dashboard or other processes can read I/O from whatever you like and send it to the computer over your own communications channel. The arduino, NI DAQ, or similar products are reasonable ways to get multiple analogs.
