Stamp Application

I am new to the use of the stamp, as will probably be obvious from my
question below:
I have an application that requires the monitoring of 5 outputs from
transducers with the analog signal ranging from 0 to 5 volts. I need
at least a 12 bit A/D for decent resolution. In addition I need to
read a thermocouple. The read data will be processed by the
microcontroller and outputted to a LCD display. Is this feasable
using one stamp, i.e. does it have anough I/O pins or, alternatively
are A/D boards available that are multi-channel. The voltage signals
will be differential. Any info on available products would be greatly
appreciated. The stamp will be battery powered for this application.

Thanks
Confused

    Again try Shawn Wilson's page

    He has a great tutorial about interfacing the Maxim 186 to the stamp. The
    chip is free from Maxim! Even I got it working.
