Hello! I need information about digital communication formats: AES/EBU (via 9-pin D connector) SDIF (via 15-pin D connector) S/PDIF (via 1/4-inch jack) Have these anything to do with DAT-recorders? Can I move my samples, patches or songs to DAT by using digital communications with computer? Any information, references or comments would be greatly appreciated. Juhana Kouhia jk87377@tut.fi

I have seen on an AMPEX D2 digital video recorder an EBU European Broadcasting Union digital audio in and out via a 25 pin RP125 standard connector. (Looks like rs232 db 25 connector with slide locks). I also had access to the Ampex D2 spec, which included info about the digital audio on their machines. RP125 is a SMPTE recommended practice which ONLY describes the hardware interface for a 8 to 10 bit 'ECL' logic parallel interface. Try calling Ampex Training Center in Redwood City Calif. USA for info. (Soory I don't have the number...) G Wait
