Not as far as I know. These units are holding up quite well, except those modified carelessly for digital output, which cooked a Sony-specific chip. Some were done well, however, and if you have a 601, that does SPDIF out of the box.
Ah, right. It's not something I would particularly have a use for, but I was just curious if anyone had actually implemented it, as it seems it could be very useful for some, and eminently doable.

I'm just happy playing with my PCM-F1 at the moment. I find the video output strangely mesmerising.
