Hello all.
I've got another Sync question 
This time it's about maxymiser, and it's Sync24 option.
Does anybody know where I can find the schematic for a sync24 output plug?
as featured in this video.

It was supposed to be on the maxymiser site.. But I can't find it anywhere... 
Also: Can you easily split such a cable to sync 2 different machines?
AFAIK it was only on the mailing list... gwEm is such a tricksy!
Yeah get on the mailing list and get the schematics.
What happens on the mailing list, stays on the mailing list 
Ah!
I'm on the mailing list!
It's like a secret club then....
just saw this..
there are certainly some tricksy updates on the mailing list 
i'm not sure i posted the schematic of the sync24 interface there, but i may have indeed described it.
its quite easy to make - an adapter connects to the printer port:
run/stop corresponds to data0
clock corresponds to data1
continue corresponds to data2
you might want to connect some current limiting resistors for safety

Thanks gwEm!
I'll try to make a cable tomorrow.
Shouldn't be that hard
Any tips on the resistors I should use?
i'm not 100% sure what i used any more, but you could figure it out - 5v, maybe 50mA maximum.. so a few hundred ohms probably
Wheyhey!
It works!
I've got a commodore 64 running Prophet64, which is syncing to an Atari 1040 ST running MaxYMiser, which is syncing to an gameboy running LSDJ
It's a total nerd-synch-fest over here!

This is the sexiest daisy chain I have ever heard tale of.
cool what value resistors did you use?
cool
150 ohm on the run/stop and clock.
Seems to work. Nothing is smoking yet.
Didn't connect continue since prophet doesn't do continue
It does however sound like there's a few milliseconds delay in triggering. But that could just be my imagination...
Cool. Let us see and hear the result of this!
I would be interested in making a sync cable between Game Boy and Atari ST. Could you please show me?

Sure will!
What I did to sync the gameboy with the Atari is to just make an Arduinoboy. Since the Atari syncs with Midi.
Didn't Ultrasyd used a 'sync' chain of Atari and Gameboy? Or is he just good at pressing 'play' at the same time?

Atari and gameboy (With arduinoboy) Both use Midi, so that's not really a problem
Sync24 is for old machines like the TB-303, TR-808 etc, And Prophet64 on the commodore.
That's why it's a different schematic etc.
If only everything was midi...
This might be useful if you want to cheaply sync a gameboy and the atari to a pc or mac:
