I received the Sony MDS-PC2 from Video Direct. I'll have a detailed review after I use it a bit. This information is for computer interface hackers... Included with the MDS-PC2 is a Sony CAV-50C RS232 <-> Control A1 interface. I opened the interface to find the following major components: NEC 78082GA26 microprocessor with 5 MHz xtal Maxim MAX3221 RS232 transceiver Appears to be powered by the DTR and one other line, connected through steering diodes and a 3 terminal regulator. The CAV-50C says "VisionTouch" on its label, which leads me to believe that it is also used in Sony's Home Theater control system... ----------------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
