+memPIO: an external to read from/write to the "mem-PIO"-device by bmcm ( httP://www.bmcm.de ) with pure-data.
+
+the "mem-PIO" is a USB-device that offers digital (this is: 1 & 0) I/O.
+there are 3 ports, each 8 channels.
+each port can be set to either input or output
+(not quite true: port3 is split into 2 subports (4 channels each) that can be set to input resp. output 
+separately; however this is not supported by this external)
+
+
+
+general::
+memPIO is a plugin for miller.s.puckette's realtime-computermusic-environment "puredata" (or abbreviated "pd")
+this software will be of no use, if you don't have a running version of pd on your system.
+check out for http://pd.iem.at to learn more about pd and how to get it. 
+
+note: [memPIO] should be published under the Gnu General Public License. 
+However, it is heavily based on the example-code provided by bmcm, which does not come with a copyright notice
+(at least i didn't find one)
+
+unfortunately [memPIO] is windows only (there are no drivers for other OS! shame on bmcm)
+
+win32 :
+extract the memPIO-0_x.zip.
+start pd with the extraction path included (e.g: pd -path PATH\TO\MY\MEMPIO\)
+create an object [memPIO]
+there is a helpfile help-memPIO.pd that explains what is happening.
+
+compiling:
+if you want to compile it for yourself, use the workspace memPIO.dsw. i am not sure, whether it works with anything but m$ visual-c++ 6.0
