ADB I/O Keys
Simulating Keystrokesnew

The ADB I/O Keys is a System Extension that simulates keystrokes into the frontmost application when a channel on the port B of ADB I/O goes from high to low and/or from low to high. This can be useful if you want to hook up a switch to ADB I/O and have that switch activate a keyboard shortcut command in an application. Simulating keystrokes using ADB I/O Port A is not supported by this software.

Director
ADB I/O Director sample
This is a Director document with example scripts on how to use Director to control the ADB I/O. Director uses the same XCMDs as HyperCard for controlling the ADB I/O. To understand how the ADB I/O XCMDs work you should download the HyperCard stack called ADB I/O XCMDs. If you don't have HyperCard you can download the standalone version. Updated 07/01/96

ADB I/O xtra
Director 7 cannot use the XCMD method of controlling ADB I/O. This xtra has the same syntax as the XCMD interface so it's recommended to use the HyperCard stack called ADB I/O XCMDs to help understand the syntax.
