No. But, we really do wish you could because then we wouldn't have to get one made for you! Unfortunately, SpaceOrbs simply need more voltage than Macintosh computers output on their serial ports. |
That depends on if you...
If this list hasn't discouraged you, we haven't done a very good job. Let us also warn you that if you don't have a spare disconnected MD8 receptacle to use as a heat sink or know how to draw heat off the individual MD8 pins when soldering, you will melt the pin holder. Even if you do know how to draw off the heat, you might want to get one or two more MD8 spares to save yourself another trip, order, and hassle. Still unabated? Even if we told you the adapter we sell has a smidgen of electronics not described below? Then it probably won't matter to you that the adapter described below needs to be disconnected from the controller when not in use. Otherwise your 9v batteries wont last as long. And, it also wont matter to you that the VOrb driver wont be able to auto detect your SpaceOrb(s) and that you'll need to use a resource editor to edit the "VOrb Preferences" file to indicate the correct serial port you have the adapter and SpaceOrb plugged into. |
Great! Seriously. You'll need:
Below is the wiring information. If a pin isn't listed, it isn't connected. We've double checked the information but don't hold us responsible if there is a typographical error.
