At the moment I am trying to install two Cat. 300 in a CP500. As it seems not to be that easy to get hold of the needed Cat. 668 adapter board, I am planning to build one myself.

Still, there is like no information about it on the internet. I was unable to find a single picture.

Does anyone know if this board has any components on it or is it just the connectors and some vias? Photos would be really appreciated [Smile]

I too would very much like to know this information!

I came up with a pretty cool trick to use an external SRA5 with a CP500, which works awesomely, but this would be great to know as well!

Certainly! Give me a moment to draw up a presentable diagram, and gather my notes about the CP500 configuration, and I'd be happy to share. It's quite simple, but I don't want to leave out any specifics.

I may give it its own thread when I do. I'd hate to derail Fabian's original topic. I'll keep you posted!

I am interested too! I mean it is not so dificult to figure it out, as control and signal path on CP500 NR is analogue.

New thread for the CP500 to SRA5 interface is here:

Enjoy!

Fabian, I hope someone delivers on your original request, but maybe this helps you too!
