hi - thanks for all the responses...

i haven't bought an adapter yet so was hoping someone had already tried this but guess i will pick up a keyspan one. i seem to remember seeing support for them as an option to compile into a 2.6 linux kernel a while back. i'm in australia at the moment but next month am off to the states for a while so will pick one up then to save some $$. will definately post on how i go.

thank you VERY much for the comport lib martin. as i don't have an a adapter yet it failed trying to intitialise the device, if the adapter doesn't solve this automatically did you mean that i could specify the device in the commandline when i run pd or with a message in the patch?

as for osc, thanks for the suggestion alex, if this doesn't work out i'll send you an email. speed is of the essence at that stage of the process though, however i think i'll try to use osc to then send info from pd to the blender game engine using the python kit from wiretap - all the same project, glad its long term :)

cheers, rene.
