the ilda connector (db25) is a standard laser projector control connector. you will need laser control software and a dac (digital to analog converter).
if you're interested in mashing buttons and making light quickly and easily, pangolin's quickshow/fb3 dac is a good product. if you're interested in doing more elaborate and advanced programming without breaking the bank LSX/etherdream dac is an excellent value (it's what i use).
pangolin's beyond/fb3 is also very good, but quite expensive. there's a number of other packages, dynamics, gls, medialase, etc.. i'm sure others will chime in with suggestions.

It runs through a default sequence of 3/4 minutes, does anyone know of any software available for this machine to get it to display specific messages?
On the back there is a socket RS232 called Interlock with a plug in and pins 5 and 9 shorted out. Also on the rear, a parallel port socket marked ILDA, also DMX in and out.
On the top of the machine there is another RS232 male socket marked Content Upload.
The UK importer has no info on this machine. So any help or advice would be great!
suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
