You aren't thinking of a "Buzz Box" by any chance? The web site of the
supplier was something like www.bzzz.com.
It is a hobbyist electronic I/O device (digital and analog I/O) which
connects to the ADB port on old Macs. I have one, buried somewhere in my
basement. I doubt it would work on Mac OS X.

I suspect it would work with an Imate (ADB to USB converter) connected
in your system.

Lack of software/driver support under Mac OS X is the main issue. It
should work under Mac OS 9 or in the Classic environment on a "New
World" Mac with an Imate.

Yep, the Buzz Box is what I am looking for. I want to do some
experimenting with some old ADB computers I have lying around. Would
you be willing to part with yours?

Actually, I was asking David since he seemed to imply that he wasn't
using his anymore, sorry for the confusion.
