Thank you for posting this information--this will make utilizing received Transroc data even easier than I had hoped. (My Commodore C-64 had an analog-to-digital converter built in, but because it's been ages since I've used computers experimentally [I don't find newer computers as fun as the old ones, although I do appreciate what they can now do], I wasn't sure if current computers came with them [as easily user-accessible devices], or if ones that users can easily utilize had to be bought as separate units.)
