There is also the EON that is now available.  I've been giving it some 
considerable thought.  Does just about anything, including mixed gases and 
altitude along with the computer interface.  As I recall, it will log about 
20 hours of dive time with sampling every minute and can be adjusted up to 
every 20 seconds.  Was also told it worked well with DAN's program on 
recording 100,000+ dives of info.
