>Hello everyone,
>I have this DAT recorder (Sony TCD-D100) which I'd like to connect to
a
>computer and record the sound from it into the computer. 
>No problem for that matter, but the thing is that I need to controll
the
>play,rewind etc. functions by using the computer running some sort of
program or
>anything which controlls the DAT. 
>The DAT is connected to the computer via an optical (TOC) cable, so
there
>should be a way to do this, at least I've heard that it's done
before.
>Does anybody may have some experience with this or maby knows some
URL's,
>books etc. where I can find information about this?

>Thanks in advance,

An idea:Try a search for a MIDI to Trig/Gate interface and connect this
to the buttons of the DAT by means of optocouplers or transistors/fets.
