I'll try them later, thanks anyway!

Look for the keyword 'open command'

I don't know, but you appear to know about some MIDI externals, so why don't
you use them?

I'll look for them, but how can they do something with DMX?

Yes, I saw on the website that some cards do com with a .dll file, but I
wondered whether I could use it from within MC, or decompile and modify it.
But I don't have C compiler.
Though, some other cards you can make yourself (cheap!) don't (of course)
come with software, and you have to write bytes to memory adresses. I'll
post a mail if I have more info on this.
