That's unlikely. The 68020 was a very common embedded processor. Processors on PCI cards (add-in cards in general) are very common. As has been said, Becton-Dickinson, whose name is visible along the right edge, make medical equipment. This is meant to plug into some box in a lab or hospital...

I finally ordered one from your European distributor + a DAC board, but then they came back and said they were sending me a new 2026 version instead with a built-in DAC? Seems cool! I can't seem to find a list of differences, though? Also, I'm really curious about the I2C control board that's...

Interesting idea! You mention some music/audio related functionality. I would encourage you to look at Digidesign's Sound Accelerator/Audiomedia and SampleCell cards. The Sound Accelerator and Audiomedia cards were basically a Motorola 56k DSP chip with its "host port" connected via Nubus and...

There's an audio editor called SoundMaker that has enough interesting quirks that I keep returning to it. I wish I had the source code for it, or even just the SDK to write plug-ins. There's just something about the interface. Word 5.1 was also pretty great.

Measurements? Nope. But I have a USB Micro Lite and a serial MIDI Timepiece and the difference was pretty apparent when I compared. Maybe it depends on a number of things. And I think I heard Logic does some special timestamping stuff with Emagic USB interfaces that makes it better. But either...

Yeah, Classic isn't useful for anything more advanced than playing back a single sound file. Also, to be clear, USB MIDI is a lot better on OS X. Good enough for me, certainly.

> which is pretty much the only advantage this setup has over straight USB adapters. On OS 9 machines at least, there's a real difference in timing accuracy when using serial MIDI interfaces compared to USB. So if you're using your Macs to make music with external synthesizers, a serial MIDI...

I don't remember to what extent I've bothered you about this before, but: There once was a protocol for called SMDI for SCSI-equipped samplers (musical instruments) that allowed moving sounds between the sampler's RAM and a program on a computer. So you could record something into the sampler...

M and Max are both fabulous applications the deserve to be preserved, I'm so happy to see this work being done. Another one is Opcode Galaxy, which is an editor and librarian for hardware MIDI synths, much like Sound Diver.

Random old keyboard idea I once had: I once bolted a bit of code onto TMK where you could switch the keyboard into a "daisy chain" mode so instead of sending HID packages over USB, it would send them over the UART but prefixed with a number based n the hot key. So you'd press hotkey + 2, and...

I do have a few Dell displays that take anything, but I liked the look of this and the promise of internal expandibility (that MiSTer carrier looks swell). But lack of SoG might kill it for me. It feels a bit like it's targetted at a generation earlier, Amigas and 8-bitters.

Did anybody get one of the Checkmate monitors? They appear to be generally available now, I'm wondering how they'd work with, say, a Quadra 700. I like the look and the ability to maybe connect up a few systems. Even Haiku is pretty decent at 1280x1024.

This looks great. Hope it comes to a European reseller soon.

That is extremely impressive work. Well done!
