We plugged two ADB keyboards into a Mac SE, and both people could type at the same time. I wonder if it would be possible to plug two Apple IIgs into ONE keyboard so we could synchronize two music programs together. I think it would work, but I am too scared to try it with someone elses keyboard. Has anybody tried this before? Or how about tying two keyboard to two computers all tied up in one swell loop! Wow! How about some reviews of Ultima V? I'd love to hear about it. Does it support the Mockingboard, perhaps GS sound drivers, and what are the graphics like? Do you have to be "good", or can you swipe blasters like in olden times? On a sidetrack, my Mockingboard doesn't work in my GS. Installed, it disables resets somehow. Perhaps someone has a technical explanation? On yet another sidetrack, can you plug a 256K ROM right into the socket in an Apple //gs? I read about RAM upgrades that say, "...and all you have to do to upgrade the system is to replace those 256Kbit DRAMS with the 1024Kbit DRAMS (once they become availiable)...". I think the Atari ST is one of those. It would be nice, yes?

Haven't played it, but I saw it for $51 at store the other day: it drives a Mockingboard, MDIdeas, and one other. >On a sidetrack, my Mockingboard doesn't work in my GS.

No Clue, I have the Mockinboard, but I am a //e'r. > Dave Seah - Worcester Polytechnic Institute -Remo BTW, your discussion of 2 keyboards to a Mac,etc reminded me of a question: How do you go about using 2 Joysticks on a //? I have a few applications which can use 2 joysticks and I have 3, BUT I don't know how to do set them up.

A few months ago, someone posted a message saying that they tried this with two Mac SE's. One of the SE's won, the other died a horrible death. -Paul R. Wenker -MECC
