There's no reason why not, if the approprite sample players were written for it:) After all, COMMS interface users of the sam-elite would have a spare LPT port sitting around wasting chips;-) I reckon the 16bit DAC should be done as a seperate interface but that's yet another box to be added on the end... The 8bit dongle is probably the most sensible comprimise:-) I believe that the conventional SAM 4bit sample replay method involves quite a bit of overheads that the 8bit dongle method doesn't so the replayed sample rate would be better as well! I've yet to uudecode imc's sample player and disasemble it to see if it can be easily adapted to a real DAC port;-) Also recently in the FidoNet BOFFINS echo was a msg describing the .WAV sample file format I've frozen it so IF anyone want's to experiment with that format I can post a copy in here:-) Regards Johnathan ...
