With all the talk of cool applications for SLink, this came to mind. I have
a huge database of CDs in CATraxx(awesome CD collection DB) and it would be
really cool if I could control a few 300 disc changers from inside CATraxx.
Even cooler is if CompilationMaker could control the changers and a MD
deck! I'm thinking that it would be a much better product then the Escient
boxes(basically a computer with a S-Link port and a modem, that calls up a
server and downloads CDDB info about your CDs, designed for custom home
installs) and way more flexible!
As far as interfacing with S-Link, I'm willing to bet that the serial port
converter box behaves identically to the S-Link port on the back of my Sony
Digital Studio PC, and is totally passive. A while ago I found a program
that controlled a CD changer using S-Link that just talked S-Link out the
serial port, and it was able to control my changer.
My $0.02...
