From: gvax.kevin@Cornell.ARPA (Kevin Karplus) I had a student design and construct an Analog to Digital Converter for the Macintosh. The board has been built, and partially tested. Testing will be finished when 1) I figure out an easy way to use a serial port from SUMACC 2) I get a +- 15 volt power supply 3) I replace the A/D chip burned out by being inserted backwards 4) I have enough time to do the testing. If anyone would like the deisgn, I'll send copies. Write to me at Kevin Karplus Electrical Engineering 215 Phillips Hall Ithaca, NY 14853

From: Bill Croft <CROFT@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA> At the recent Apple Univ. Consortium meeting in San Francisco, Reed College was showing off their "GriffinTerminal" TEK4012 emulator. As part of the demo, it was hooked up to another of their products: the "microcontroller". The microcontroller was taking analog samples, A to D ing them, serializing them and sending them to the Mac for graphical display. A very nice job. They also offer a little development environment for the microcontroller that runs on the Mac. The same setup is used on campus to control lighting and heating, remotely from an Apple. Their GriffinTerminal manual lists a technical hotline number: (503) 232 1712. A Reed spin-off, "Metaresearch" distributes the products. Metaresearch, Inc. 1100 SE Woodward Portland, OR 97202 -------
