If your player has a serial input for computer control, it can be done. Usually this will be a 9- or 25-pin socket marked "Remote", "Computer", or "Serial" or some such. the control protocol, baud rate, etc. will be in the user docs. There is a Voyager Stack which was written for videodisk players. it is customizable and could be modified for audio players. --Chuck -- INTERNET: bmug!User.Name@apple.COM UUCP: apple!bmug!User.Name

Thanks, Chuck. My player has a jack marked "control," but no 9- or 25-pin socket. I think the jack is for a wire remote. Any way to use that for computer control? Is the Voyager Stack a public domain stack? Where would I find it? --Gordon -- INTERNET: bmug!User.Name@apple.COM UUCP: apple!bmug!User.Name

I expect you're right about the wire remote. as to how to hook it to a mac, you'll need to get a schematic of the hardware before a decision can be made about the Mac. I may have a copy of Voyager. I don't remember if it's PD, I'll check. --Chuck -- Via apple!mailcom, Fido 1:204/444
