Gigabeat Dock.
Chronon:
Thanks toffe! That clears things up for me quite a bit. I won't be able to help with the firmware side of things, but I can probably do something along the lines of a finite state machine (e.g. selecting output channel, etc.) once the details are a bit more fleshed out.
The analog-in ports are the ones labeled by ADC on the diagram? I seem to recall mention of a 10-bit ADC on the description of the Samsung processor; is that right?

yes
If you make the interface, there are people who will modified the firmware to make it work
It would be nice if you can come on the irc #gigabeat on freenode, it would be faster to talk ;)
Chronon:
Yeah, I can only interact sporadically though. I can dash off the odd message here and there (I'm at work). And unfortunately I have no internet access at home, which puts a damper on things. Maybe I'll hang around after I finish with work today and get on the IRC chan, though. The prospect of unlocking additional functionality is exciting.
Chronon:
For those interested, it looks like Digi-Key carries FPC (flexible printed cable) connectors suitable for attaching to the FPC from the Gigabeat's stock cradle.
See here.
I guess the next step is laying out a suitable board with this connector and providing serviceable attachment points for bringing the desired signals over to a protoboard.
I'll post back here with any progress.
roemann:
Does anyone know if the pinouts for the MES60V are the same as the ones shown for the F-series?
Also, and I know these may seem obvious to all the experts, but can someone tell me which pin on the connector is number 1--for example, with the unit face up on a table and looking at the bottom, is it the top right or left, or what? How are they numbered from that starting point ? Also, can anyone translate the pinout labels shown in Hardware into something resembling English without the acronyms?
Sorry, for being so simple-minded, but I am desparate to make a cradle for my MES. Unlike people with an F-series, we did not get a cradle with the device, and none are on the market that I know of.
Thanks a heap for any help.
