IIGS sound sampler!
Attention: the following may be common knowledge, but assuming that
everyone else is as ignorant as i am...
Here's how to make a sound sampler for your GS, reeeel easy. I notice
that many companies are charging $50 and upwards for digitizing cards.
This is a total ripoff. To make a sampler to receive input from a tape
player, CD player, whatever, all you need is:
1 1/8" phono jack. This is the same size as on walkmen.
1 molex connector
2 molex sockets.
these can perhaps be bought at Radio Shack. My helpful sales
representative directed me to the rack of nylon powerplugs. oh well.
if you can't find 'em use something else instead. try IC sockets.
2 long pieces of wire
here's what you do: open your computer. notice the little brown 7-pin
connector at the front. this is the sound expansion port. you can also
use it make a stereo o maybe 8-channel surround sound expander. notice
the pins. the pin in the front is the analog-to-digital pin. the pin
next to it is the ground pin. connet pin 1 to the '+' lug on the phono
jack. this is the small one. if you have a stereo one, solder both small
lugs together. connect pin 2 to the ground lug. this is the big one.
there, that's all. now find some good sampling software. and send me a
copy because i need it too.
