#146404 - More info required
Responding to: ???'s previous message
As others have noted, it would be helpful to have more info; in particular, how much of this is under your control?

Jeroen Wilbers said:
the biggerst problem is that the CD-players themselves broadcast data at "any given time" (the tracktime and so on)

Can this information also be requested "on demand"?

If so, the "master" would just need to detect that the slave had sent "something" - which could be a simple interrupt on the leading edge of the start bit;
The master would then switch the RS232 link to that "slave" and ask it to report its state.

Note that the devices suggested by Ap Charles have 64-byte FIFOs - would that be sufficient to capture an entire "message" from a "slave", for the "master" to read at its leisure?

If not, maybe a variation on my suggestion above: the "master" sees the FIFO overflow state, and requests the "slave" to report its state..
