Ridax BeoPC cable

15 replies

Hi guys, 

I'm struggling to get hold of a Ridax BeoPC cable, I've tried contacting Mikael but I'm not getting a reply, can anyone point me in the right direction, or is there an alternative?

Thanks in advance,

Lee

I use it everyday in my office. Sorry can't find more.

 

Yeah that's the cable.. seems like the live website is down now.

I did have an email exchange with Mikael a while ago and he said he would make me one, but he never got back to me. I've emailed him a couple of times since and got no reply.

I'd have a go at making one but I have no idea where to start. 

 

 

I know, it took forever for mine to arrive when I ordered it way back in ... 2010 or maybe earlier...

It also needs a bit of software to run on the pc side. (I have the mac version)
I could open mine to see how it is build, seems simple enough

IMHO the schematics and software should be available to anyone on beowold as it seems Ridax abandoned this.

Look at for a Revoxbeo Box It work fine!

If you could look inside that would be great. It is a huge shame that they aren't available anymore.

Just had a look at that revoxbox. It appears to work with the BEO4 remote which is no good for my purposes. Ive got a Beomaster 5000 with a MCP5000.

Maybe it's working if the MCP5000 is using the same code as the Beo4... But I don't know...

The MCP5000 doesn't use the same codes as the Beo4 unfortunately.
