Re: [mh] As excited as can be! Now, question about IR control

[mbahr <mb...@pr...>]

Hey Joel...  Thanks so much for the QUICK reply!

The Global Cache stuff looks very interesting because it hooks to the
network, and doesn't need a direct serial / USB interface to the host.  (see
http://www.globalcache.com/products/gc-index.html)  I know how to program in
a variety of languages (including MUMPS - I think I'm the only one that
remembers that system) but I'm not up to writing a driver myself.  I think. 
Maybe some others will look at this globalcache thing and find it
intriguing.  In the meantime, I'll look into what it would take to route the
USB-UIRT over to my components.

I've another question about your setup, Joel:  I see alot of support
information for the Sony 7700 DVD/CD changer.  Are the lower cost Sony (or
whatever) CD changers also able to be driven by MH?

Thanks again!

-Mike
