Regarding newest components: I have two components that
both have RS232 firmware dating back to 1998 and they
are both capable of two way comms! Buzz, I'm not sure
what you are referring to wrt 'newest components', if
it's the Pronto side I agree with you; if it's equipment
being controlled by the Pronto.........
In the overall scheme of things, very few components support 2-way RS-232. Early in the game only a few of the super expensive units supported RS-232 of any flavor. In the last three years, RS-232 has become more common at a lower price point. Some units that offer RS-232 support accept commands, but to not provide any feedback.
I didn't want to get anyone excited, thinking that simply pointing a Pronto at a unit will result in 2-way control.
