I know what the 9-pin connector is for!

Gentleman, please be serious about this.
There is a lot of people who comes to this site looking for real and serious information and all you guys do is to joke about it?
JUST UNBELIEVEBLE!!!!!!
"The 9-pin connector is used to connect either a super nintendo or a virtual poker game, so when you and you musicians are exausted from a sesion, they relax playing.
isn't Protools sweet?
Ps. the original idea was to place a lighter..very similar to the ones in your car. I guess they didn't end up burning CD's but 001's.

i think that the digi001 has been out long enough for digi to let us know just what the heck is planned for that port.
my guess is that they don't want to anounce what its for so research and development can drag their butts and take their sweet old time without any one hassling them.
somebody break their digi open and see if the pins are even wired to the unit.
this might be a russian space station stick on buttons and fake knobs kind of thing.

I don't think it's for a damn thing.

Maybe my Palm Pilot version of PT will HotSync thru it?

[songbass]

it's a serial port that Digi may or may not integrate in the future for machine control, or any other RS-242 protocol devices.

Songbird, I think you hit it square on. I'm sure this is 9-pin for Adat Sync but like SMPTE and a few other options that were removed from the final version of PT LE due to flack from the ProTools 24 community. If any of you got the original Digi001 video distributed by Digidesign, if you noticed, the version they were running in the video even had the multi-voices which we didn't get either.

The 9 pin connector is the direct hook-up to the Cadillac North Star System found in all 1998 Cadillacs or newer. This allows you to digitally dump MP-3's into your Delco Sound system. Really, no kidding. All newer GM cars will have this feature and it is being built into Cubase and Motu Software and Hardware as well.

[dcornutt]

Its for a Hewlitt Packard B/W printer.

[coaster]

YOUR ALL WRONG!

its for the joystick used with the new bombfactory "asteroids" plug in.

its supposed to be all vintage and stuff, just like the original.

It was actually going to allow the LE user the ability to sync together up to (3) of George Foreman's Lean Mean Fat Reducing Machines. But here's the catch.... The LE version would only operate a "crippled" version of the griller, which did not have the non stick surface or the ready light feature. After all the SMPTE, Beat Detective, insert your LE gripe here, negative feedback, the idea was canned.
