Vinyl Data- Classic Computers / Indie music tricks crossover

It's a nifty little box that contains a Mullard UHF tuner, A/V demodulator (the Aux connector carries composite video and mono audio) and a Philips Teletext decoder chip. The digital interface is I2C -- the stock software communicates over the User Port, but I've got other software that will talk over the Podule bus's I2C port. I've actually got an A3000 (again, *somewhere*) and a RiscPC backplane that have been modified to feed the I2C signal to the "outside world" so I could wire up the UTA... Let me see if I can remember this correctly.. The Domesday system was a Master Turbo with a SCSI card, wired up to a A Philips VP412 Laserdisc player that had been modified to add a SCSI interface and a chroma-keyed genlock. The Master could boot off the LD, load the software, then play back a video clip, still image or what have you. Then there were a few arcade games that used Laserdiscs for cutscenes and such, but I suspect those are off-topic for cc{talk,tech}. -- Phil. classiccmp at philpem.me.uk http://www.philpem.me.uk/
