I am using Rainbow's Sentinel Eve3 dongle with my MCL application
and have had no problems.
The dongle can be programmed easily in C or Pascal, and it is
easy to make suitable foreign function calls from Lisp which work
exactly the same way.
I could send you about 15 lines of code demonstrating the
Pascal-to-Lisp definitions that I use. (e-mail me for this,
but you would need to have the eve3 manual to understand what the
original function calls do. I can't send you those details).
I don't really know Pascal myself, so this *must* be easy!
I have nothing to do with Rainbow. If you contact them, tell them
they can have an MCL interface to their dongle from me!!  :)
