does anyone here know anything about the ls5 interface which i believe also
acts as a dongle for the above program .Is there a circuit of this interface
?

It isn't a dongle, it's just an interface, albeit rather a good one.
I doubt if they'd release a circuit diagram.
The copy protection is in the program, on the program disc. You can
only do 3 installs after which you have to send the disc to Hoka
to be 'topped up'. You can only have one install active at any one
time: to install on another machine you have to uninstall from the
hard disc back to the floppy, then install from the floppy to the
second hard disc.
(I have Code30. Presumably Code3 works the same way).

Hi,
Code3 Gold has no copy protection like Code3 and Code30 the LF5
interface
has a coded chip that allows it to work with the program. You can
install
C3G onto as many machines as you like the "dongle interface" means
that
it will only work on one at a time.
Code 3 Gold Pro features the same copy pro as C3 and C30 this allows
on 1
working copy BUT you can install it 3-6 times from the floppy shipped
with it.
C3G Pro is like C3 and C30 (v5) in this respect.

I guess that he needs to build a LF5 cause he has a copy of the prog
or wants to
use it on say 2 machines at the same time.... I saw a while back a C3G
posted
to a .bin NG - 1.6 US version if I rem right - thats what most people
need to do
armed with the non CP version is get an LF5.
The C3 interface can be made in DSP - I think a firm in Germany???
makes a DSP
program that emulates the LF3 - But then you have the problem of the
CP thats in
C3 !!!
Oh well time to spend 300 and get an LF5 or a S/H LF3 !

I stand (or rather sit) corrected!

Sitting is good :-) Yeah the Hoka progs have changed a little and the CP is
a "little" more
user friendly - But still gets V pi$$ed under NT, the direct write to the HD
normally gives
its the willies, but then C3G (non pro) works under NT4 and Win2K happily
without the
needed CP prog messing up the startup, where as the C30/300 again gets
"Something
tried to write to the hard drive" windoz message stopping them load up....
Actually the C3G under 2K is quiet good ... Need to Alt enter for graphics
but least you can
decode in the background, where as the later C30;s once upgraded to a LF1A
can work fine
under Windows 95 OSR2 + but not yet NT ..
Hope useful ..

Thanks. I don't know if it'll do any good, but I'm getting my
Code30 upgraded by W&S.
