RE: [emulatorII-list] Cdrom help

2002-11-20 by Rob Keeble

Hi,
Pretty much impossible - unless you are an electronics engineer good at
designing custom SCSI to serial interfaces, and you can reverse engineer the
EII serial cable protocol. Yes, I have tried to locate the EII serial
protocol description and the EII memory meap from Dave Rossum, but these
docs have been lost in the mists of time...

Best solution is a Powerbook with SD for EII and all the OMI banks converted
to SD for EII files..

Or a resurrection of all the borken OMI CDROM players that have failed would
help -- the Sony drives die.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for the reply.
I'm not sure if it's possible, but how difficult would
it be to convert a CDrom drive to work with an RS-422
port? I realize OMI has long discontinued their drive.
Is it just a case of  making the appropriate cable? Or
is some sort of software needed? If anyone has the
knowledge to do this--what an opportunity!
Thanks,
Mike
