Part 2, some success! Sony DAT-2500A/2500B DAT for SDIF-2 (PCM1630) to S/PDIF digital audio.

In part 1 we were working on a Sony PCM-2500A DAT recorder with PCM-2500B interface unit. The plan was to use this to convert the obscure and obsolete SDIF-2 digital data stream from a Sony PCM-1630 Umatic digital audio recorder set, to a more modern S/PDIF, AES/EBU or Toslink signal. But in the end it turned out to be unable to take SDIF-2 input and convert to S/PDIF output without going via tape. In part 2, we attempt to modify the equipment to make it possible. How many businesses in the world can transfer from PCM1630 tapes with a pure digital route? Probably you could count them on one hand.
