What a sad sad news to receive.

I mean, to count his creations and work for the Mac...that's an incredibly long list. I know, most will probably pick MacPaint, but to me, his biggest creation has been Hypercard ... it was an amazing concept back in 1987, revolutionary and well-executed and if only Apple's marketing had been abler to promote and see its vision ....

Rest in Peace, Bill. And thank you for your incredile work.

in fact even the link to the steinberg FTP from the original post works fine.

you just have to unzip the file under OSX or windows. (the .sit version for some reason got lost when they moved the ftp server to a new host 20 years ago.)

Know a big bit of Apple history?
Then maybe you know of Bill Atkinson?

@redstudio, there is a self-mounted image file attached to supernova777's post and also links to Steinberg's ftp on the first page.
They all work/download.

Have spent this morning trying to think of what to write in response to… this… yet another amazing innovation from indibil. But instead of just heaping more effusive praise upon this achievement… I first think more of all of those unused ADC cards out there that may now be easily transitioned to HDMI - thus, saving them from e-waste. (Not to mention all of the other expensive and convoluted solutions for HDMI - some, already covered here under this topic.)

THIS is really quite an achievement! AND he submitted / posted it here.

And no, this isn’t the first such innovation from indibil - nor shall it likely be the last (hopefully).

Some people are born tinkerers and unafraid to innovate… they’re more inclined to ask “why not” instead of “why bother”. And then they share their innovations freely with others. So what do we do in response? Keystroke, keystroke, keystroke… until words just become mere chitty-chat in what now can seemingly become just meaningless blabber over time.

No, indibil deserves much, much more for his efforts. Least of which, could be the return of the damned “Like” button. Because while it is “nice” to receive a bit of occasional written praise (and some will actually do that) it’s additionally supportive IF one’s efforts are recognized by such a minor thing as a simple “click”. A rather easy bit of added positive reinforcement that says thanks, your contribution is both recognized and appreciated. Instead of just posted… "into the void”.

So, I’m inclined to strongly agree with the “old” Bolkonskij…

I like the "like" :-D ...seriously, how often am I reading a post that contains helpful info but then I don't wanna spam the forums with "thanks, that was helpful" replies. Yet, I DO WANT to give something back to the person investing the time to share his/her knowledge. So I feel this is a great way of doing it.

On a sidenote - Functions like that have been there on Bulletin Boards before Facebook and the whole Social Media crap. Where do you think Zuckerberg got the "inspiration" from?

[Underline above is mine.]

Thank You indibil!

Why not, ehh? 
 

I would like to buy a midex 8, .. I haven't found any drivers for OS9 anywhere.. links take me to blank pages.. can anyone help me?

Inside "Digidesign" folder (or extensions) there is a plugin folder and a codec folder.

One thing is the export/import of MP3 (needs the codec in codec folder) and other is the MPEG Decoder Plugin.

On LE (AM-III, Digi001 and M-Box) at least the plug hangs the system.

On Stereo Mixdown (Mixer?) on MIX it hangs...

Maybe it works on 5.1

Amazing work! Well done. Always so exciting to see some innovation for old hardware Will you make the schematic available or will you be making these for sale?

I've updated it, and it seems to be working fine now. I've even verified that it recognizes two monitors and allows for an extended desktop.
