Interesting :)

I guess it makes sense to do it this way... especially for things
like a CD/MD combo deck. I can't imagine the Sony marketting people
care whether such a thing is controllable via NetMD, but I guess it
shows the techies were thinking ahead...

Yeah, I think that sum is how I came to the value of 86 in omd_time.c
although I'm not sure why I decided it ought to be an integer value
(perhaps it was late at night)... I think the thing that made me
uncertain at the time was that I never seemed to see any values
of mm:ss:ff where ff was greater than 80 (in fact I am still not
sure I have, but at least now I guess I could do some tests).

But thanks!

Pete.
