Pages 51-52 of the 3700 binder (not the later schematics section), show the midi protocol for sysex, vca moves, switches etc that appear at the midi in/out of the console. That's the crux of the communication to the Cooper computer and also the communication that was used to demo the old "Faderview" floppies at Namm/AES shows etc. Faderview was basically the crippled version of the Cooper program. No editing of what you see.
The manual shows that you can send the fader and switch moves out of the console to an external sequencer and then play that back to control the vca faders/mutes.... but ... I think it's the offline, after the fact editing, that is where the Cooper capabilities come in. That would also seem to be where the gui of the Cooper program is helpful.
But hey ... I'll keep a watch on this thread as this type of stuff is fun to read.
I was also taking a look at a newer Mac here and the "two colors, two grays" thing you mentioned way back at the beginning. Were you running system 7 on that first Mac?
Also out of curiosity, is your Cooper software version 1.01 ?
