I got a keyboard(music) from a charity shop for £1.00, it has mic in & sound out too! I had it playing through my Commodore 1084s monitor & it amplified it alot, this was a small mic jack to 2 RCA ports. I have just tried mic in on the 7600/132 but nothing happened, so I am about to try mic jack to RCA live as I speak...........RCA in is working, though it needs alot of amplification.
I am now ready to record me professional cd, hey I saw Eminem the other day, I though oh thats what Bart Simpson is doing now he's grown up. But I prefered his rap when he was a kid about getting into "deep deep trouble"
I got my self some cd pens for writing on my cdr.
I got a tv signal booster from Index(shop that is even worse than Argos, indeed when I was there one of the cashiers said to a customer "you are becoming a problem customer", I didn't hear any humour in her voice), usally selling for £19.99, I got it for £9.49, it has two coaxial in & four out, well correct that as I now have it out of the box, I can't make out which are in & which are out, but there are 7 coaxial sockets in all, 1 on 1 side, 2 on another side & 4 on another side, should be handy anyway.
Yesterday I tried my old Compaq pci graphics card, but the powermac didn't like it & refused to boot:-(
I also got a scart plug(unwired) so I plan to connect this to my 9 pin D on my Commodore 1084s monitor.
We went to Wood Green today(me & my son), he got 2 small windmills & a Giraffe baloon animal, I just got my wife a flower for her hair, well she is difficult to buy for.
I did get Planet of the Apes, yesterday & havn't been able to stop playing it so far, the fighting is limited though & I would prefer more problem solving tasks.
& today I bought London Racer, erm it's a bit boring, but easy enough for my son to have a go.
& I have bought 2 lots of 128MB dimms for my 7600/132, should make it work better & I allways see memory as a good investment.
