Wow!

That's a 1st class bit of kit! I want to buy it and wire it up to my house!

Voice activated pneumatic front door? automatic cat flap tiggered by RFID tags?

Phone home bath! computer controlled taps and level sensor, ring the house up and key in the 'run bath' command, steaming hot bath ready when you get in!!

Ahahaha :-)

(I'm not mad, it's the radiation from these flat screen monitors, honest)

Well put your money where your mouth is

I was thinking more along the lines of a computer controlled fairground organ just to upset the purists.

Will A PII running XP Home blow a raspberry ? Silly question - it is a raspberry

Now John you are closer to the truth here than you may imagine ! This interface was built to simulate the tape reader of a Moog Hydrapoint Bridgeport NC machine, and the Moog chap who developed it was the brother of the Moog Synthesiser chappie. The tape reader would read the tape by blowing air through holes (or not if not punched) ten stripes at a time and this air operated little interposers that acted on the hydraulic positioning valves. I always reckoned he used an air driven system as his brother had done the same with his musical synthesier.

How fast can the tape reader go? Can it really get a moog on?
