I just installed System 7 (Thanks to Mark Johnson and the rest of the people at Apple for bringing up ftp.apple.com!!!) and started pawing around in it with ResEdit. One of the drvr's is named '.DSP' Is this support for a digital signal processor? Is that going to be on the next Mac? (which would make it more of a NeXT Mac :-). Is this described in Inside Mac VI? (which is still not in my local bookstore). Anyway, I think it's a great idea, and needs an Apple-set standard. -- David Palmer palmer@gap.cco.caltech.edu ...rutgers!cit-vax!gap.cco.caltech.edu!palmer "Operator, get me the number for 911" --Homer Simpson

The '.DSP' driver is the ADSP (Apple Data Stream Protocol) driver. ADSP is a connection protocol which supports a full-duplex byte stream transfer between two sockets. It's pretty easy to use and is getting more and more popular all the time. You've probably seen it in Retrospect Remote, or Flash or one of those kinds of programs. It's documented in Inside Appletalk and in Inside Mac VI.

It used to be a seperate entity, but was rolled into System 7. It's used for network IAC. -- Dean Yu Blue Meanie, Negative Ethnic Role Model, etc. Apple Computer, Inc. blah blah blah blah...
