Halted should have [sold/given] you a multipage spec sheet that lists the
necessary interface and also all of the bitmapped player control codes.
I've got one at home and have been able to control it ok.  Let me know if
you need some of the commands and other info (but try calling Halted first
and ask them for the spec sheet).
