Re: Sony PCX300 Device File?

I was successful at doing this... I just overlooked the menu button on the front panel. However, when I switch to Control-A1II, I don't get any of the responses from the player, such as the (playing) response that looks like 500505 (playing disk 5 track 5. Also the commands to the player that rely in the play_dt command for example doesn't work. I have to suppose that it is because the device file for the 200 disk changer does not have enough characters to represent the AII format, whatever that is. I have tried modifying the device file and adding more characters to the disc part of these commands and responses, but no success.

For the time being, I will have to settle for only having 200 slots in the PCX300. Probably should have gotten another PCX200 for this... if anybody comes up with a device file that will work with this changer and commands and responds all 300 disks, please let me know. I would really appreciate it!!
