80188 MP3 Jukebox Project
- rwmj 7y agoI seem to remember that 386s couldn't decode and play MP3 files. In this project they're using the 80188 to control a separate MP3 decoder chip (the MAS3507D). Looks like an exciting project for an EE course.

- bestham 7y agoThis reminds me of the LP3 player attached to the parallel port (LPx). You could cat an mp3 file (up to 192 kbps) to /dev/lp1 it and it would play it back in hardware. Worked with almost any computer, and also had with plugins for XMMS and Winamp.
