Designed for use with SONY MiniDisc recorders such as the MDS-JE510. The program allows titles to be entered at the keyboard and sent via an infra-red link to the recorder. Existing titles can be edited, or text files can be loaded and sent. It is necessary to build a simple infra-red sender which is connected to the printer port, or you can buy one from me quite cheaply. There is a full description of how it all works. Download for more information.

Now includes a record timer facility.

Latest version 1.7 now compatible with RiscPC.

Tested on A3000 (with ARM2 and ARM3), A5000 and RiscPC 600,

… and with Sony MD JE512 and MD 930.

Also included ...

A version for the good old BBC Micro. Why not have one dedicated to just this one job. Put the software in ROM and it's instantly available and a whole lot cheaper than Sony's own unit. There's no need to connect a monitor - look at the MiniDisc display. The description explains why it was easy to do on the old computer but much harder to do on a more modern one.

Note: the program files are supplied here as a zip file. Inside the zip file the program was compressed using !Spark by David Pilling. You will need this or the free !SparkPlug to extract the original application.

This was written for the A3000 and uses direct hardware access and a simple Infra-red led add-on. It works up to the RiscPC 600 but will probably not work on later Risc OS machines. However the description of the workings may be of interest.
