We just received a Sony LVR-3000N WORM videodisc.  It has an RS-232
port specifically intended for computer control of its functions.
We also have the manual describing the serial protocol used to
control it.  However, before writing software to do this from scratch,
I thought I'd ask if anyone out in Usenet-land already had software
to control the unit, and would be willing to give it to me.

The LVR-3000 is a new single-box recorder that provides most of the
functions of the older two-box LVR-5000 (or 6000, the PAL version).
So software to control either of the older units should be usable on
the 3000 as well.

So, if you have control software for this recorder, and are willing
to give it to others, please send me mail.

(For those who are curious, the Sony LVR family is a time-compression
component video recorder, great for single-frame recording without
the wear of shuttling tape back and forth.  It accepts composite,
S-video, component (Y, R-Y, B-Y) and RGB as input, generating any of
those as output too.)
