I have just acquired an old CCTV controller and want to hook it up to Max to see if I can get any kind of control numbers/signal out of it. Its got lots of buttons, switches and a joystick...

I've had a look through the forum and found references to "staalport" for writing to the parallel - no good here. So I searched the maxobjects.com site and found the "cvin" external for use with the cvbox controller here: 

however, the download link for this external seems to be dead.

Does any one know if this object will receive data from any controller or just the cvbox, and if the answer to this question is yes, does anyone know where I can get this external from?

It won't but I'll fix the link, thanks for spotting this.

does anyone know of any other external that receives data from the parallel port.

If not I suppose I'll have to go out and buy some kind of converter to get from parallel into serial and then use the serial object...

OK, thanks Olaf.
