I generally like her stuff but I was underwhelmed on this one. I wouldn't really call it a hack to hook up the internal speaker to a USB sound card. I was hoping she was going to control it externally. And the horror of using the non-adb version. :D

Is the protocol for the sound box documented anywhere? i.e., would it be possible to build a replacement for a failed sound box?
It is not documented and a replacement is often requested.

Hm, this page about the NeXT keyboard bus (
http://www.68k.org/~degs/nextkeyboard.html) (linked from this one about repairing a NeXTCube that did not respond to its keyboard at all (
http://www.jax184.com/projects/NeXT/NeXT.html)) seems to have the beginnings of something about the data on the bus, at least as it comes from the keyboard (and soundbox) to the computer.
... and of course this is old and well known and has been improved on already (

BMOW mentioned it on 68KMLA last year that he bought out the world's inventory for his cruddy floppy disk emulators.
I have to disagree, Pentium - the FloppyEmu is a pretty nice piece of work, and a boon to the vintage Mac/Apple collector.
Bah. While it might eliminate the Chicken or Egg scenario first time mac users have I still prefer using the good old floppy disk.

Great joke!
