I just bought one of these for cheap. It is an 8-in, 2-out converter used for data acquisition. I was hoping I could use it on my bench for electronics work, but I didn't expect the software to be included, which it wasn't!
Why is it that with old computer stuff, that the main box or cards, cables, manuals, software seems to nearly always go in separate directions? And it is often stuff that is absolutely useless for anything else. Do people really say to themselves: "I am going to throw the interface hard away over here... and give the floppies to my friend... and lock the manual in my basement... "? I guess I am dumbfounded because it seems obvious that since these items are 1. (usually) only used together, and 2. the pieces may not be usable without the various bits. Yes, I am ranting, but this always irks me so badly.
Anyway, I know that MacLab boxes had software programs called Chart and Scope, which I can't find anywhere. I probably need older versions, like 1-3. Does anybody know where I can find them? The software must be on a school FTP somewhere, but the names are so general that searching is difficult. If you can help, please do!
