(serial ports were used in the bad old days.) So all the microprocessor eval systems and software development tools come with ethernet built in. The result is, at the end of the product development, you've got functional ethernet developed for free. So, given time and money, (a lot of money, please give us money. :-) we aurisis maniacs will eventually develop another Loop hardware platform, and it will certainly have ethernet as a possibility for the final product. I've been thinking of this for a while actually. Ethernet is useless for real time control, but great for fast, reliable file transfers. It would seem pretty cool to me to have your studio all networked, right? someday. kim (Or maybe firewire will finally arrive, that would be even better.) ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
