a not very optimistic thread about vintage dongles

Hi all
Is it just me or does anyone else fear the future of these vintage dongles. Without them, all the softwares are completly useless. for example cubase3 will just show a "no key, good bye" - "ok" sign and you're showed the door. These dongles are just little bits of plastic and thin (probably rusty somehwere) pins of metal. Seriously, how much life have these things got I never take it in/out, If I did that all the time I would get worried. Or are they built to last?

Fear not there are plans afoot...

Over at www.atari-forum.com simbo is analysing my Cubase 3 dongle to see how it could be re created, though I've not had an update on that for a while.

If you go there and hop to the falcon/TT/clones professionals section, there is a thread in there called Cubase dongle clone (or similar, I can't quite remember) and there is more info there.

And just to make finding it easier, a link to the thread is here for those interested in following the cloning idea.

Forget sheep, once the replacement dongles are done, we will have our own Dolly the Dongle!
