My first attempt to make use of Hypercard started around 1995. After some months of worries and searching for ressources I managed to set up a programme to remotely control a precision balance and do some differential analysis of weight, visualise the results and perform automatic file operations for documentation.
Some years later I used the same know how to do automatic data acquisition and to set up a control software for a micro movement drive in the laboratory.
In 2008 was my last use of a custom made Hypercard stack at work. There was an old Performa available and I set it up to control a stepper motor driver. That was real work I got paid for. The result was excellent. I should have used that setup to join the RetroChallenge ;-)
