Hi,

Empeg Players
--------------
Sure, if you need some just let me know.


Ethernet thing with the Addonics PATA-to-SATA Converter
-------------------------------------------------------
I think it is an address space thing. They probably do some sloppy ADRxxxx kind of decode or something.

Is there a I/O amd memory map of the system somewhere? Is the location of the Ethernet stuff even located near the PATA location even with "don't care's" in the address decodes? I don't see how it could have access to another I/O port or mapped area since I thought I had heard that the player doesn't do DMA. It's not a big deal, I'll just move on to the next controller.


Presentation
-------------
Good luck, and have fun with it. Isn't that why we do all of this stuff anyway? I'm sure they will be interested in what you have to say. I would imagine that the business model for start-ups might be different from when the EMPEG was developed. Much more caution and greed from principle investors these days.
