BlueChip, You really need to start reading up on how the Jukebox is designed. How else can you tell what is possible or not? Recording: The ADC and the encoder is in the same chip. The encoded data is transferred to the SH1 via the 8-bit parallel interface (see mpeg.c for the transfer routines). The SH1 then saves it to the HDD. Playback: The data is read by the SH1 from HDD to RAM, and then from RAM with DMA to a serial port of the SH1, connected to the serial interface of the MAS. It is the decoded and fed to the internal DAC. And yes, we have quite a lot of documentation on how to write code for the MAS, but so far nobody has done anything useful with it.
