Re: MD: Digital Macintosh to MD solution available?

I am happily using a Delta DIO 2496 card on my Mac G3. It provides optical and coaxial I/O. Aside from quirky software (not unreliable, just quirky) it works just fine. -- Iechyd da, Grover Cleveland >> I want to buy a Mini Disc player, but first, I want to be able to hook it up >> to my Mac.

MD: Mic Power question

2000-02-28 Thread P. Grover Cleveland
There have been some warnings about plugging line cables into a mic power plug on some MDs. Here is my problem. I measured the dc resistance of a Sony 957 mic that I use with success on an Aiwa AM-F70. There is 100 ohms at the plug for each channel. The EC mics that I built from RS elements hav

Re: MD: Macintosh SPDIF interface solved

The driver is for both sound manager and asio. There is a new driver and control panel on the web that was a fix for the old one. Only after four hours of wasted effort did I learn that the original driver was no good. It would have been helpful if there had been release notes with "known bugs".
