I think you should get more literature on how digital sampling works first.
I suggest Digital Audio by Ken Pohlmann (SAMS is the publisher).  It goes
over the basics of digital audio and such.

16 bits is used for dynamic range, 44kHz is the sampling rate. It
determines the highest frequency reproducable (which is half the sampling
rate) or more accurately, you would sample at twice the highest frequency
you want recorded.  16 bits just determines how many "levels" of sound can
be stored or its loudness.

You would need a clock source for the ADC to sample, but it is independant
of the computer's clock.  You could use the clock in the computer, though.

Hope this helps,
-Simon

What I meant to post was that the Micron Color30 for the SE/30 does allow
use of the internal B&W simultaneously.

A question: why does the greyscale-internal monitor option not work with
an external monitor attached? Besides the answer "It's not supposed to", I
mean. It would be quite convenient if I could have two 8-bit displays. My
guess is that it is a hardware thing. When there is no external monitor,
the video RAM is used to show 8-bit greyscale on the internal. But when the
external monitor is being used, this extra VRAM is busy; why not add some
additional VRAM just for the internal display? The greyscale adapter is $70
or so, so why not add $25 or less (my guess)

Another Greyscale-adapter question: what does it look like? How big is it,
etc. Basic technical specs would be appreciated.

Hello,

I intend to purchase a 19" or 20" 8 bit color system for my IIcx.

I already know from my Sun workstation experience that I _MUST_ have a
Sony Trinitron type tube.

I am currently leaning toward the "SuperMach" display or the display which 
has only the word "Sony" printed on the bottom, since theseseem to be the 
most economical models.

My question is whether some trinitron monitors are actually (significantly)
better (or worse) than others.  If anyone out there in netland has
actually seen some of these monitors and compared them, or if anyone has had
a bad (or good) experience with any models, please let me know.  If it 
appears to be of general interest, I would be happy to post a summary.

Thanks in advance,

I work for an Apple dealership and we have been informed that the PB100 is
being dropped. Apple was selling it internally to its employees for around
$1000, and there was a big deal with a warehouse club who will be taking
a large number of them.

I own the FAXmodem V.32bis.  I haven't been able to try the fax portion
yet as I don't have the software yet.  However, I can answer the other
question.  V.32 = 9600 bps.  V.32bis = 14,400 bps.  This is raw speed,
no compression.  The V.42, V.42bis, and MNP5 are the compression
standards.  I guess there are FAX machines out there which will talk at
14.4Kbps, but I think most are 9600bps...

To illustrate my current situation without going into all the details

   2.  Today I received an unexpected and unwanted shipment of two (2)

Is there someone outside of the people you get when you call
