All, Does anyone know if there is something I can get to hook up my Amiga to my laserdisc player and control it? All I need is simple control, like Play and Pause. And I need to be able to do it through Arexx commands, so whatever hardware it is hopefully comes with a software driver of some sort. I'm using a Pioneer CLD-91. Thanks for any help in advance!

Hi, OK do you have some form of control port or any port on the pioneer, if you do then you are going have to work out what that is for a start. This is then just the start of your problems. When you have that info you have to decide what hardeware option you are going to use on the Amiga either serial, parrallel or if you feel really ambitious access the bus directly You do have the possibility of blowing lots of things up but lets face it this is what engineers are best at |-), but seriously from the sounds of it this is not a trivial problem, any ideas if the pioneer has an I^2 C bus like some CD's ?
