- In the UK the model number is JVC BR-S605E - quite possibly E is for
- European. The RS-232C interface is an optional plug-in board.
- I don't have any note of price. As a Unix/CMS/VMS person I tend to
- write the few lines of C required - eg for our Abekas A60 - to
- construct the command; I don't know how it would be organized on
- a Mac - sorry.
