Closer inspection tells me that I only have a microphone
input. I did find the windows screens that allow me to
change the "audio mix". But, without a line input they
don't help a whole lot.
My next step is to find an "iMic". :-) Then I will
check out the software option you suggest.


iMics are not bad for playback, but they are poor for
recording.


Instead, see if you can find one of these:


Behringer UCA202


Thanks for that. I hadn't purchased an iMic yet. So, I
am now looking for a Behringer UCA202. I am watching
ebay. If that route fails there are several web outlets
with units for well under USD40.00.


It is hard to believe that sound quality that was
unafordable twenty years back is now easily attained.


In 1972 I was an EE undergraduate student, working on a hybrid computer,
which was composed of an analog computer, a pair of A/D & D/A converters,
and a small digital computer. The A/D - D/A pair was speced to have true
16 bits monotonicity and accuracy, and a max 200 KHz conversion rate. Price
was said to be around $500,000. The digital computer had 32k bytes of RAM
and an approx 1 Megabyte hard drive. The price was in the same range.- Hide quoted text -



Would that be a PACE analgue computer by any chance - with removable
patchboards?

EAI 680.

The PACE was an earlier model, which I had cut my teeth on, before moving on
to the *big time* 680.

Here's a brouchure about a larger model than the one we had.

Both computers had removable patchboards. You could set the pots and
parameters on the 680 from a program running on the 1130.

Fascinating photos. My father used to work on something like this at
the CEGB during the 1960s and latert at Marconi (Stanmore). Thank you
for posting about them.
