Thank you all for the ideas! I think i'll try [lpt] first and see if i get input. (btw, OT: do you guys remember the COVOX 'sound card' for the LPT port? 8 resistors...) Then i'd go for the hacked keyboard thing - i remember a recent thread about how to attach a 2nd keyboard, with some xorg.conf hacking... but i couldn't find it.
I don't need pots at this time - for that job i used a PIC and MIDI. I'm also also on Linux so everything just works :o) Andras 2010/11/27 Pierre Massat <[email protected]> > So did I.
