I think it's going to be difficult for you to find the file exchange you're looking for. About the best you could hope for is finding some software that would allow a DATA dat to read audio data. That could be expensive. Probably your only other bet would require something with an AES port -- maybe Digidesign or Sonic solutions -- that could help you translate your files. Good luck. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 28 Jun 1994 12:02:56 EST From: "Cook, Dennis R." Subject: Direct to DAT? Hi, Does anyone know how to exchange PC sound files with music format DAT files without going through an analog interface? Are there any PC sound cards with AES/ABEU ports? Are there any music format drivers for internal DAT backup drives? What about drivers for high speed bi-directional parallel ports? Any help greatly appreciated. --Dennis [drcook@arl.mil] ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Jun 1994 10:27:40 MEZ From: Thomas Subject: Re: Direct to DAT? Dennis R.

I know of two cards available in Germany, one is called MIDIA ProDif 100. It comes with an S/PDIF interface only (no analogue IO, you must use your DAT recorder for that), a driver for Windows so that every Windows-based sound generating program can use that card (Wave for Windows and the like). It also comes with two simple DOS programs to play and record soundfiles. I use it on a FreeBSD-system and wrote a driver for that card myself. If you tend to use it for that system (or LINUX for that matter, the soundsystem is quite similar) feel free to contact me. The other card is called TripleDat which also has analogue IO besides S/PDIF. It comes with a sound-editing software of its own plus a software which does a Backup of your (DOS-)Harddisk to an ordinary DAT via the S/PDIF. If your DAT supports infrared remote control, they supply such a remote control to control the DAT while doing backup/restore. I personally would not trust an ordinary DAT to keep my backups due to the error-correction which might make my emacs *sound* the same but the processor migt have a different idea about a workng program! Sorry, I dont have the names and adresses of the distributors at hand, but I guess if there are such cards in Germany, there must be more. If not, feel free to contact me again and I shall find out. Hope that helps Thomas ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Jun 1994 22:44:34 -0700 From: Nate Waddoups Subject: Re: Direct to DAT?

Digital Audio Labs makes a card with AEU/EBU I/O. I don't know much about it, though. Hope this helps. --natew@halcyon.com--------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of the EMUSIC-L Digest ******************************
