Wonder if there's any way to get CD internals to generate something RS-232-like enough to be read into the COMM port that most PC's provide. Might be fun. If the PC can keep up with the bits at playing speeds, you might be able to graphically display the sound. Alternatively, has anyone tried buying a CD player and taking it into the computer lab? I understand that the CD player clones that move bits from optical disks into your Microvax (or whatever) use some of the bits for ECC, so they can't play standard audio CD disks. Wonder if that's true, and if so, overrideable somehow. -- -- Jon Krueger UUCP: ...seismo!rochester!ur-tut!tuba BITNET: TUBA@UORDBV USMAIL: University of Rochester Taylor Hall Rocheseter, NY 14627 (716) 275-2811 Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
