Dunno about the chip, but Eyetech were selling the MASplayer last time I looked.
After reading this thread, I didn`t realise how many people were using them. I`ve built my own MP3 jukebox out of a 1200, that I can control over my network, or infra red remote control.
Just got the case to go, and maybe change over from AT to ATX PSU. Time allowing, I`ll iron out all the bugs in the software and actually get round to releasing it! (although that timeframe is months rather than weeks at the moment :-( )
