A570 and sound... and HD?
« on: August 20, 2003, 06:41:55 PM »
I just borrowed an A570 and connected it to my A500. I use and RF-Mod. to get the picture and sound on my PC's TV card.
The quesition is; When playing a music CD i have to disconnect the audio cables (going into the RF) from the Amiga and plug them into the A570. When I want to hear any other sounds I must disconnect them from the A570 and plug them into the Amiga. Is this really the only way to get both CD- and normal audio???
Another question; Is there any way to use; both the A570 and an external A500 HD simultaneously?

Ok, I think you just solved the problem. Have'nt tried it yet but still, I think you're right;) I was wondering what those RC-in connectors on the 570 were useful for, now it seems pretty obvious.. Sorry for beein stupid...
About the HD thing.. That's too bad, really. Would have been actually quite USEFUL to have both the 570 and the HD together. But.. then again,... we have to remember it's OLD stuff we're talking about.. You just cant get everything..

By the way, why could'nt they just make a "pass through" connection on the 570 or on the HD? ´Like on the external floppy drives.. Or thats just not the way it works perhaps?

But still. you mean to say that there ARE, some HD's for the A500 that sports a  pass-through connection.. That would, for example, let you connect the A570??
The HD I'm talking about I's a DATIC 40MB disk.. Has no pass-through.. but a strange hole on the rear (who has'nt;)). Which made me think that maybe some kinda SCSI cable could be connected inside and be popped outa that hole and then connected to the 570?? Just speculations, of course.. !?
