  • digital audio interface (has no AD/DA converter)
  • records 16 bit digital audio to hard disk from the digital output of CD or DAT players
  • 16 bit digital audio playback through the connected CD or DAT player
  • 14 bit quality analogue playback through the Amiga internal audio
  • optical input / output, coaxial input
  • jumper selects between the input connectors (only one at a time)
  • 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz sample rates
  • for playback the card itself has only a 48 kHz oscillator, so all other rates have to be obtained from a device connected to either of the two inputs – eg. for 44.1 kHz playback a CD player has to be connected and turned on without playing any CD
  • one track only
  • ability to remove DAT copy protection without using the CPU
  • AHI driver
  • backup software – use audio DATs as a backup device

flaws: one damaged connector, but still working
