    Thanks. I wondered because I did several searches and came up with nothing. I'll look periodically.

    Is the soundcard method better than just using a light gate with a timer?

    No. It's the same thing, just using your soundcard as the timer.

    Well, one thing that quickly becomes apparent with the soundcard/photodiode/Audacity method is that the graph makes it easy to measure the shutter duration using the median opening and closing times, something that's perhaps not as simple to interpret with a shutter timer alone.

    Okay, I've contacted the "lurchrider" guy from ebay and purchased one of the testers from him. I have an imac g4 and an ibook g4 with standard equipment. Both have a standard headphone jack but no "microphone" jack to speak of. This thing doesn't respond. Yes, I did follow the directions he sent. What "sound card" are you guys using?
