Controlling External Devices

[Stephen Barncard]

On quick glance, I don't think hooking up REV to this thing would be that hard.

Looking at this company's broad offerings for OSX and 9, and the fact 
that they've created software hooks for almost every other 
programming platform (including HC on OS 9) - They seem open and 
flexible.

I think that if someone had a project in REV that could use their 
product that they would be pleased as hell and would probably bend 
over backwards to help develop the needed externals to use with REV. 
Then they could add REV to their list of supported. I have a feeling 
the application-specific code is quite small; this is what is 
installed on the host machine with their installer:

The installation program "SERVICE USB.pkg" installs the driver, which 
consists of the following components:

  /Library/Frameworks/Service USB Driver.framework Contains 
Frameworks, which contains all control applications for SERVICE USB.

/Library/ScriptingAdditions/SERVICE USB.osax Contains the AppleScript support.

/Library/Receipts/SERVICE USB.pkg Contains the installation program. 
The "Receipts" folder gives an overview of the enhancements that have 
already been installed on the computer.

/Library/StartupItems/SERVICE_USB_FirmwareLoader Ensures that a 
background process (Daemon) begins, which loads the firmware into the 
interface if necessary.
