I just bought a NeXTcube to run an auditory perception laboratory and I'm
trying to determine the best way to set up multiple (4 is what I have
in mind) response stations that will allow subjects to enter their
responses.  I usually use same/different or two-alternative forced
choice procedures so I don't need full keyboards or video displays for
the subjects.  One suggestion I got was to hook up terminals to the
serial ports.  This would work, but requires adding serial ports to
get four subject stations.  I would prefer a more elegant solution
where on routine is monitoring four response boxes that are connected
to one port (perhaps daisy-chained off the SCSI port?).

If anyone has worked out a solution to this problem or thinks they
know how it could be done, I would very much like to hear about it.

Thanks,
Gary
