--> XDP4000X-List message posted by: dralle@matronics.com (Matt Dralle)
Hey all,
My development of a Linux Unilink Driver Module for the PC parallel port
has been going great! I picked up a cheap Sony deck at Fry's to do the
development, but it doesn't support DSP control so I can't test
interaction with the XDP-4000x. The master inits the 4k, but doesn't
seem to talk to it beyond that. Interestingly, while the deck won't
control the 4k, it dorks over the EQ selection on the deck too.
Anyone know what, if any, current model Sony decks still support DSP control?
I was looking around on EBay for something in good condition I could
use for development; found a used C90 and a CDX-8850. Hum, might have
to make a bid...
Matt

Matt,
I think the 8850 has the built in DSP so it would
likely NOT have DSP Unilink control.
You can usually find a CDX-C780 or CDX-C680 that will
work fine in the $150 range on eBay...
So what is this supposed to do? Let you control you
Unilink system via laptop/PC? Would this essentially
make the laptop the unilink source
selector/controller? If so, that would be a nifty
idea. You could even incorporate a jukebox style
program for organizing multiple changer's libraries in
one place.
FYI - I have seen something EXACTLY like this for the
ES home "Control S" and "Control AII" protocol. I
think it is called "Slinky". It will network all SONY
AII/Control S gear, and tie ALL of the known media
(including all Sony changers AND local hard drive
audio) into a jukebox style program.
If something like this could integrate with the
Phatbox's Unilink, that would indeed be the ultimate
car-audio jukebox system! Especially if the PC could
read out the full ID3 titles and relay them to the
head unit for proper ID3 decoding.
I guess if the idea would be to have a laptop in your
ride, the Phatbox would be obsolete since the Laptop
could be used as the music server - AND add an optical
out soundcard as well! Now we're talkin'!
Keep us posted,
Randy Visentine
