Calling all owners of rare ADB devices!

[Tashtari]

I can send you a MacHASP-M rather than submit to electronics recycling.
If you want it, send a postal address. Thx, peter at easthope d ca

Thanks for the offer! Email sent.

 

[Tashtari]

If @Tashtari doesn't want or need it, I would gladly take it. I'm reversing some old mac copy protections and a MacHASP would be nice for testing and playing around.

I can send it to you once I'm done with it.

Thanks! Just send me a PM here, when you are ready.

Have you ever seen a JL Cooper CS-1? It's an ADB controller specifically for early audio editing software such as ProTools and SoundEdit.

Manual here: https://www.jlcooper.com/_manuals/legacy/CS-Series/CS-1_Mac_User_Manual.pdf But no software.

I put the software on Mac Garden a while back. I'll find a link when I'm back in the house.

It works without software with things like Premiere 4 if I remember. Works well with SoundDesigner II.

Ah! Cool. I couldn't find it because I was expecting a space in JL Cooper.

Have you got one? I wonder if it would be easy-ish to clone it.

Yeah, the search is really picky.

I've owned one since around 2000. Got it with a cast of IIci based SoundDesigner II / ProTools system. I think I've talked about them with Tashtari before... It is a few years since I've looked inside one. Thinking about it, the one I have here isn't actually my original one. My dad has that. This is a boxed one I got off eBay about 6 years ago.

A fun thing to do is try to find a game that works well with it

I don't know a whole lot about ADB, but the manual mentions "secret" codes - so to a first approximation, is it just sending a fixed code for each button, which then gets translated by the software? Because that seems... simple to redo.

@paws
Looking at your manual, keep in mind that my version of the software is much older, so the manual doesn't seem to exactly match in some ways. There is 7 years difference between them. They made these things for a long time!
