>There is your answer ... MD connected to a Palm Pilot
I have a Palm III and various MD equipment. At this point, the *only*
common connection is IR, specifically, the Palm with send/receive IR and my
JE520 and MDS-PC2 will receive it. The Palm will send/receive RS232 and,
with the addition of the CAV-50C RS232/Slink interface, so will the MDS-PC2.
But I think it would be better to concentrate on the portables, rather than
these home-type decks.
I think the best solution for *existing* portable MD would be a cable that
connected the RS232 hotsync on the Palm to the 4-pin remote connector on the
MD. Two of the 4 pins are control, which is normally implemented by a
resistor ladder and pushbuttons, but I've seen PC interfaces that use CMOS
analog switches. The other two are data from the MD to the LCD (or the
label printer). Looks like an opportunity to use a PIC single-chip
microprocessor to make the connection.
I'm sure that it would be possible to write a Palm program similar to the PC
program Sony supplies with the MDs-PC2. Might make me think of replacing my
MZ-EP11 player with a portable recorder!
