MK4 with Harddisc or SSD? - Page 4

Ok clear, but we need some kind of hardware like that, agree?

Or back to the first option, "only" replace the DVD drive of the MK4 for a interface to a hdd or ssd or USB-drive or CF or SD or whatever... to get rid of the DVD drive.

Sure, go for it. Got any low-level DVD drive hardware interface experience? I don`t...

I've seen this, (I know a couple of the dev team) and from what I can gather its a cd emulator, similar to the intravee but uses the sd slot to "store and retrieve" the mp3s.

It's a very slick piece of kit.

I don't think it has a AV in (or out), but does have an i-bus interface.

Something like this would be ideal as the basis for a nav project, interfacing the video and software porting would be the challenge.

This seems to be great, but does anyone know if there is a interface like this one but instead of a car reader with a USB input?

Kiwi,

Do you or can you point me in the direction of the pinout of the cabling interfacing the DVD drive. There are so many off-the-shelf SATA to USB controllers, I would at least want to give this a try.

Thanks for your help.
