Admin feel free to scrap this thread as I was able to purchase a RC416 to run my MSR16 - happy happy joy joy -
The manual suggests it can drive the following machines via Accessory-2: TSR-8, MSR-16, MSR-24, 238, 688, 644, 134, CD601, RC701 and RC601.You can control basic transport functions through one of the acces.connectors on the back if the Rc-848-I don't remember which one,but the RC-848 manual would tell you, and the acces. connector on the MSR-16. You would still have to fabricate a cable...
