#PC ctrler for LD Players
FLASH! So you say you want to control your Pioneer Laserdisk player from
your Amiga. Well, have I got news for you. A company in Scotts Valley, Ca
is offering a device that is similar to a modem, in that it plugs into a
serial port and accepts commands like a hayes compatable modem. Only these
commands are for your laserdisk player. It comes with an rs232 plug at one
end and a plug compatable with your player on the other end. Only drawback
is that it costs $200. If you're interested, get in touch with:

I also have information on obtaining the original laserdiscs and players
from the Space Ace and Dragon's Lair Videodisc arcade games. I have the
discs and they are great! If I could afford the sia III I would write and
upload a utility to play these games. If you are interested, drop me a
line and I would provide more info on these discs.
