My project at college this year has been to make an analogue interface for a PC, by connecting an ADC chip to the parallel port. This is then controlled using a Microsoft QuickBasic programme in MS-DOS 6.22 (running on a speedy 1.8GHz Athlon XP system).
This is working quite well, and I was thinking about trying to get it to work on the Amiga as well if I can find out how to access its parallel port.
Something I was wondering though, is if anyone has ever tried making a simple analogue to digital converter interface type thing for a Macintosh? My project would probably be quite difficult to interface to a Macintosh as it uses parallel data and the Mac doesn't really have a suitable parallel interface. But it does have serial interfaces and there are plenty of serial ADC chips around.
