Check out Quality Computer.  In there recent catalog I believe they are
advertising a IIc hard drive. Perhaps they have taken over the Chinook
line?! (Q. Computer has ads in Incider)

Okay, now the digitizing half of the SuperSonics has arrived, I have
one more question:  where can I find a microphone to hook up to the
RCA jack?  For now, I do not want to digitize from CD/Tape/Radio,
but like to digitize people's voices.

Does RadioShack have microphone that will work?  I need to have a RCA
type jack for the card.

Thanks in advance.

I am in the process of changing from the IIGs to the Mac. Can anyone
advise of a file transfer program I might use to transfer my files?

Yes, there is a WordPerfect GS.  In fact, there was a version for the Apple II
also.  Both have been discontinued for a long time, but I believe that you can
still get a copy directly from WordPerfect.

A couple of years ago, a technician that I know was in contact with WordPerfect
trying to get information on WordPerfect for the Mac.  Like most PC people, he
asked for information on thier Apple version (Apple II?.. you mean Mac II?)

Well he got the info on the Apple II and GS version.  Aparently they are still
available.  I've got a copy of the GS version laying around here somewhere.
The GS version makes your machine feel like you are running WordPerfect 5.0
on a PC.  The text is even white on a blue background.  The program is slow
on a stock GS, but good with an accelerator.  Some problems persist, but the
program does make the most of your dot-matrix printer.

	As of right now, there is no software out for the GS that will allow  
you to store samples that is greater than the memory your machine has. If and  
when the SoundMeister comes out (Sound card for the GS), that will have a  
buffer for sound that will save to disk while recording. But thats when the  
SoundMeister comes out. And chances are, you'll need a fast HD to keep up with  
that too. There is a piece of software that will allow you play samples larger  
than memory, and its called LongPlay.

i know i'd be interested in that.  however, many of those criteria were met by
DB Master v5 Professional (which i use) and unfortunately, even with putting
the nonrelational version into shareware, stone edge is no longer with us. 
have the sad feeling odds are not good we'd see a GS specific DBMS like that. 
still... if anyone is willing to write it/sell it, i'd be willing to buy it. 
can definately use something with multiple databases open at one time.

Yesterday, after waiting through a long backorder, I finalyl received my
Maxtor 7213s...

I have it hooked into my ROM 1 Gs w/ 4.25 megs on a GS RAM+, through a
RamFast RevD v3.01 256k cache SCSI card...

Now the fun part...

The system crashes into the monitor as soon as all the windows are opened
in the finder when the Sound Cdev is installed...

The system crashed similarly when I try to run a sound program if I have my
DA's installed...

When I try to get into Teach by double clicking a txt file in the finder
(Via TeachReader) I get "Unable to allocate memory $0201"...

..and I get an "unable to load/unload resource" error one in a while..
--

This seems to be pointing to running out of memory or some driver
crashing... I doubt the first since I do have 4.25 meg, and even with all
the NDA's and CDA's and FExts and Inits installed, "about finder" still
gives me 2900+k free...

anyone have any Ideas on what could be happending here?

Here's the bug report, fyi:
 
ProDOS 8 hangs at the title screen if a Syquest drive (44 MEG in this case) is
turned on but has no cartridge in it. This is on a IIGS, but I expect it would
happen on a IIe as well. GS/OS has no problem with a powered Syquest drive with
no cartridge. This is with an Apple High Speed (DMA) SCSI card.
 
Booting with the Sound control panel disabled or not in the *:System:CDevs
directory and the opening the Sound control panel crashes. Btw, it'd be nice if
the Sound cp used list controls instead of pop-ups.

Uhh, how can there be "no diddling with the sampling rate"?  Is this
program 
assuming that the sampling rate is in the auxtype?  That's not supported,
and even
if it was, what happens to files with a 0 auxtype or ones with some other
bogus auxtype?
It's much better to just have the user be able to say what speed the file
is played at,
and have a default if they want to trust that... [that's what my program,
rawtores, does]

Basically I don't see how you can have a 100% accurate way of knowing
what the speed
is.

Does SoundConvert put multiple sounds into one file? Does it let you name
the sounds (or
does it just convert the original filename into the resource name)?

While I am not sure if Supra uses a lower quality chip set, I can, however,
say I am more than satisfy with my SupraFaxModem v.32bis (what a name!:)
I truly haven't had any problems with it since my initial purchase about
2 months ago.

While the original chip sets had bugs, Supra's been generous with
their ROM upgrades, and a friend of mine got his new ROMs in less than
1 week.

USRobotics, of course, is a more respected name in the modem business,
and they have been in the market a heck of lot longer than Supra.

Don't forget that ByteWorks support his products and Complete Tech

Also, I'd like to know if it works well with pointless which I'm also
