I work in the micro-electronics world. The most favourite process used at the moment is HCMOS7 (in the digital world). In the digital world, the desing-complexity doubles each two years (Moore's law which still holds up). What makes this possible? Simple, each two years, we come up with a new process that is smaller (0.5-0.35-0.25-0.18 micro-meter). Maybee it's possible with a 120 layer digital IC, to shave of each layer, analyse and so build a 3D-image of a chip. But one thing is sure, that only gives you a 'flatened' representation of all the combined FSM's that are behind the design. I yet have to see the first workstation that has the capacity to analyse this flatened FSM and to produce the HDL-code for it! I've never heard of reverse-engineer. But I've heard of espionage. Ie, it seems to be much easyer to steal the design than to reverse-engineer. (And I bet it's much easyer!) What you say, can be done for analog ICs. Why? Simple, you just can't make analog electronics smaller. (You can't put 5mW MOS-FETS inside a 2x40W IC amplifier!).

MD: The MDX-65RF -- a step in the right direction!
Hi Everyone! With Sony releasing the MDX-65RF package (the MDX-65 6-stack MD changer and the RM-X69RF RF interface kit), there has been a step in the right direction for adding MiniDisc to an existing car stereo in a permanent manner! This will mean the end of people using temporary setups of MD Walkmans, cassette adaptors and cigar-lighter power adaptors to play their MiniDiscs in the car. Instead, those of us who want to retain good car stereos can add on MD playback facilities to these systems. Remember that you don't have to use the RF modulator in the kit to feed the signal into the sound system if it has an AUX input. Here, as previously documented on this discussion list, you take the RCA connections out to the head unit, rather than to the modulator. The Peripheral Interface Components website ( http://www.stinger-aamp.com/peripheral/s-ind.htm ) has kits available to interlink most OEM head units equipped with the AUX input (for the dealer-fit CD player option) with kits like this one. Also, you may be able to find protocol adaptors that let you use Sony UniLink CD and MD changers with some OEM head units. With regards, Simon Mackay PS. If you buy MD equipment and own a car, remember to consider investigating car MD equipment because you may want to start playing the MDs that you recorded on the equipment in your car regularly. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: MD: Analog Recording Quality
When you record with the analog input, the MZ-R55 takes care of the input level. When there's no audio signal during 3 seconds or more, it adds a new track mark.

Rick I see a market for MP3, but unless they solve the high cost of taking MP3's with you (which is solved using MD), I don't see a very bright future. I've seen that there are some 'stand-alone' home-decks comming out. They enable you to record a MP3 and to store it on the internal HD. Which is kind of useless, if there's no easy way to get the tracks back off again. I worked out a while ago that storing high-quality MP3s on HD was actually more expensive than MD - it may not hold true any more with HDs getting cheaper, but MD isn't far behind. You're right though - MP3 needs a cheap, removable media to compete. MP3 player owners harp on about "memory prices coming down", but I can't see SM or CF memory dropping below the $15 mark for several years to come. For me MP3 is a 'consumer-unfriendly' format. 1) you need a PC. 2) You just can't push the button and a WAV is converted into MP3. You need to fiddle around with settings to obtain the best sound! For me, MP3 players are far too much hassle. I have a lot of MP3s; I ripped my 200+ CDs over the summer so I could have all my music with me at uni without using up a couple of shelves. Problem is, they're mostly at 192k (I figured if I'm ripping them all, I may as well do them at a decent quality). At that bitrate, it's about 1.44mb a minute. 22.2 minutes on a 32mb card, or 44.4 minutes on 64mb. Either way, it's not a lot of music (most albums are longer). I could squeeze more on if I re-encoded them, but by then the time to re-encode (usually losing ID3 tags) and upload to the player is roughly the time it takes to dump it onto MD. I don't fancy going through all that every morning/evening just to have fresh music in my player every day. I'd rather fall out of bed, grab my MD player and a couple of discs and leave. It's also a format that will be brought to dead by the music-industrie. Why, simple, they just hate it that there is no copy-protection on MP3 and the underground MP3 sites that come with this.

Cheers, Ralph - may I say that one of the reasons MD is getting more popular by the day is MP3?

Then if they go looking for their favourite commercial songs they're confronted with links that don't work, tracks put in geocities webspace (non-resuming), or several porn banners. Of course, a lot of MP3 trading goes on that isn't like this - but how would someone who's new to MP3 know about that? The majority of people still go into shops and buy their music.

As for what you can hook your portable MD recorder up to, it will record from any line-out or microphone source, as well as optical digital sources.

Re: MD: Problems with Creative CD-ROM drive
Hi Simon, I had two problems with my Creative CD drive both now fixed. The second is probably most relevant to you. Firstly, it increasingly thought all discs were CD-A even though I knew they were data only and always opened audio player software and displayed the contents in File Manager a single audio file. This was cured by uninstalling Adaptec DirectCD- since then I have surfed the web extensively for that and similar software and most people dislike the Adaptec products in general, and DirectCD especially. The favorite seems to be one called NeroCD which I've downloaded but not yet tried. You don't say your drive is CD-RW so I'll assume it's a normal CD-ROM so you won't use that software anyway. The other problem was very much like yours-- place disc in tray, close drive, whirrr... stop, whi... stop, whigrrwh... stop. "Drive D: not ready". This was cured completely by (bad news time) returning the drive for replacement. It took several phone calls before they would do so despite being under warranty still, and I had to pay the postage one-way. Still the replacement has never had any problems but I still dislike the way it takes a few seconds to decide to spin-up to full speed. Best of luck. I reckon Creative should stick with what they are best at, sound and video cards.

That depends on whether people are selling because (1) they're dumping their MD stuff and getting out of MD; (2) they've bought newer MD equipment and are dumping their old stuff; or (3) they never had any interest in MD but got some bargains [on something they see as salable merchandise] that they are trying to resell at a profit. #1 would indicate a bearish position on MD, #2 and #3 a bullish one.
