I've been off-line for a while , hence my late tuppence worth ( U.K. expression!) I came across a mention of a CD-ROM interface to use with the C64 at the start of 1998 in Commodore scene mag and at the time I sent an email ( from public library ) to Crystal Software to get more info , well I had the reply printed in Commodore Scene and the ICPUG journal and I'm going to type it in . ------------------------------ >> The product you describe probably would be our DCT-II Challenge Pro >> CD-ROM System . It is basically a Datasette recorder which has been used >>to house an interface for your run-of-the-mill CD Player or Discman. We >>have a demo CD available and the device retails for GBP30 including VAT . It >>comes with a detailed manual . For more information please contact us by >>surface mail . Thank you for your interest in our company >>kind Regards >>Michel Vaartjes , Public Relations Branch Manager , European Division >>Crystal Software and Electronics ------------------------------- This is all the info I've got on it as due to poverty !! ---------------------------- Also sine wave / square wave , I've got a copy of an electronics mag from 83/84 that gives info etc on how to build an adaptor that enables you to use any tape deck with the c64 . the datasette puts out a square wave pattern but an ordinary tape deck will only output curved waves ( as it were ) so this device converts the one to the other , (it's a simple circuit and I'll xerox it for anyone who sends me their snail mail addy . ) I'm not sure how it's proposed to select the item from the CD but I've been looking at audio CD players and the track selection process will only go up to track 99 . All these things may've been talked about already and I've missed them ! petlibrary@bigfoot.com http://members.tripod.com/~petlibrary/ http://www.icpug.org.uk - This message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing list.
