Hey, that's awesome that you got something happening. :D
I forwarded your progress on to Melanie who still has Alberts MP3 Control
AFAIK...
I tried going through the hercules tech support site and opening a help
ticket to get some specs / code for their stuff, I got no response at
all... I think Adam was chasing that stuff for a while and also got
nowhere. Hopefully if enough people bug them they will eventually relent
and give us a clue about their hardware.
