Re: MD: HELP needed for Sony MDS-PC3 and PC Link
is it possible that you need the japanese version of windows to run the software? Try poking around on the web and seeing if you can download the dlls that only come with the asian windows packages. http://www.japansh.com/hintstips.htm has some stuff listed but I didn't spend a lot of time searching so try at your own risk. -Jen I tried everything already... win98SE, ME, and 2000... and none of them works... any ideas?

Re: MD: Best buy, phasing out MD equip ??
Not that this is on topic or anything but around 2k is pretty standard if you are building a fairly cutting edge system (not exceptional). My last (spring 2000) was just over 2k (not including monitor/printer/etc..) 500 might be ok for a out of the box cookie cutter non upgradable sortof web surfing/word processing system. Unfortunately those systems tend to leave you stranded in about a year if you are trying to do anything more demanding with them. For those of us who do gaming/development spending 1-2k every two years or so is pretty much a given. -Jen [...] Easily over $1000 for an entry-level machine, closer to $2000 for a good system. Not to be nit-picky, but where'd you get these prices? Those are about twice what you should be paying. But I agree, it's still far more expensive.

Re: MD: Sony E500 vs. E700 vs. E900
For serious listening or recording maybe, but when I bought my md player (sharp mt77) I wanted something that could fill the role of a portable mp3 player but have the benifits of a tape/cd portable(like not having to spend an arm and a leg on additional storage) without being as bulky. There was the added benifit of knowing that mds had been around for a while so I probably wasn't going to see a new line come out the week after I bought my unit with 200% improvement over the old stuff. *grumble grumble stupid tech industry* Anyway I havent noticed any reason why LP2 isnt good enough for 90% of my day to day (aka non serious) use. Maybe LP4 would be good for that long noisy bus ride, but LP2 seems fine for a jog in the park or a car trip or just bumming around listening to music. -Jen I guess it would sound good if you always listened to it in heavy traffic riding on the bus. I think for serious listening or recording, you are better off with standard MD. Some infidels look down on MD as inferior because it uses ATRAC in the first place, can you imagine their comments on the new LP stuff. "Wow, have you heard those MD recorders? They sure play a long time but the sound is crap!" Just my humble opinion of course. I'll stick to regular MD any time. I have recorded on my R30 and got a copy that was good enough to submit for a CD compilation, and so have a lot of other people. I'm sure they won't be able to do that with the LP mode. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MD: PS/2 compatible keyboard?
ok, heres a little info that I pulled off the net (I figured my 'big bad, small good' explanation needed a little help^^): "Keyboard connectors come in two different styles. The older one is the large 5-pin DIN connector, and the newer one is the smaller 6-pin mini-DIN connector (also called "PS/2-style" for the IBM system that introduced it). The two types are electrically compatible and you can attach an adapter to allow the use of one style on a PC that requires the other. (Note that this is not always true for PS/2 style mice that use an identical 6-pin connector)." Any pc keyboard that is fairly recent should be fine. If on the off chance you do have one of the old ones kicking around the adaptors are pretty cheap and I think easy to come by. (sorry, I dont really know exact years) -Jen My home MD deck allows for titling via a PS/2 compatible keyboard. Since I have a Mac, I'm not sure what this actually means. Will any keyboard that works with a Windows computer work with my MD deck? Thanks! I would think that any keyboard who's plug fits the slot would work. Then again, I'm using a Mac now so I could be wrong. :) - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
