Apple Desktop Bus

In looking at some N64 info for Rich, I noticed this...

Apple Desktop Bus...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Desktop_Bus

Looks like a 1-wire interface to both a keyboard and mouse... Hmmm...
Has anyone thought to play with ADB with the prop yet?

(Hey Wizard, you might be able to place a prop in a mac case yet!)

The more I look at this.. The more I like it..

Unfortunately over my head at the moment..

Perhaps we can talk one of our .Spin-Jedi's to consider writing an object for ADM.

This looks to be complete spec.

Old bit collector,
Sure you must have this somewhere, but posted it anyway
Quite hard to find on the net

Best Regards Ian

BTW How do you cope with the wife going nuts because you've got yet
another computer.I'm running 2 maxxed out QUADRA 650's and get grief all
the time.!!

Sorry wouldn't upload for some reason ( bloody Windoze )
but the link you need is insidemac
Hope that's some help.

Actually, I have two things going for me with the wife...

She *knew* she was marrying a geek when she got me (and accepted what comes with that.)
and I have an office (RetroRoom) about a mile away where (Wizard and I) keep most of our collection.
I think Wizard catches more grief about his collection than I do.. [noparse]:)[/noparse]

Making some headway on this tonight! It looks like the ADB interface will run at 3v tied directly to the prop!

Reading bits!!!
