Re: [Openvortex-dev] Montego II Capabilitites.

[Zach Borgerding]

Hehe.  I wouldn't exactly call me a "SPDIF wizard", but I have been trying to 
learn a bit more about these cards and I think I've traced it down to specific 
pins on the AU8830.  I *think* it would be pretty easy to add SPDIF input to 
virtually any Vortex card, but I need to work a bit more on tracing some parts 
on this board.  I've just not had much time with school and moving over the 
last few months.  But I intend to bring news of some pretty cool Vortex hacks 
in the future.

I've had a Montego II card for a few years now, but that IO board is so hard to 
track down.  I was under the impression that the Montego II used only a stereo 
codec though, so I'm not entirely sure how the daughterboard is functioning (I 
presume it is just polling directly off of the AU8830 pinswithout need of an 
extra codec).  It's a shame that there were never any documents released that 
really give some extra information on the AU88x0 chips.  I'd love to see 
programming docs and some reference designs.


Best regards,

Zach Borgerding
