I have a NeXTstation 8/105, which as some of you may know, has an on-board
Motorola DSP 56001.  The docs offer the following pin i/o data:

1 SCK
2 SRD
3 STD
4 SCLK
5 RXD
6 TXD
7 +12v; 500mA
8 -12v; 100mA
9 GND
10 GND
11 GND
12 SC2
13 SC1
14 SC0
15 GND

I know I need to contact Motorola to get more info on the DSP, but can I hook
up a cd player with digital output to this?  How bout a Laser Disc player with
digital out?  And are these output AES/EBU or S/P-DIF or both?

Also, does anyone know if the Pioneer VSX-D1S receiver (which has a DSP) has
digital i/o?  The store here that sells them _can't_ show me the back panel
and they have lost the owners manual; needless to say I'm taking my business
somewhere else but mail order places can't answer these questions.

Thanks,

Chris
