It is about 5cm by 5cm & on a keyring I believe. I want to know the name so that I can search on ebay for it. I have a mission to own & experience as many media formats as possible.

shaktiman Senior Member United Kingdom 1226 Posts	Posted - 02 May 2003 : 08:02:54 I imagine CED's are highly collectable. with Hitclips, is there a player?, can you record on them? shaktiman Quadra 840av, prettymuchmaxedout8xcd drive os 8.1 128 meg ram, 500 meg hard drive PPC7600/132, 4.23Gig & 500 Meg drives, 8X cd os 8.6 Performa400(deadintheattick) 3 monitors 15" & 14" & 14"
Jobf Junior Member United Kingdom 162 Posts	Posted - 02 May 2003 : 08:56:54 quote: I imagine CED's are highly collectable Quite yes. AFAIK there were only one or two players released in the UK - a Hitachi one (by far the most common) and another that I can't remember. The players do appear on Ebay UK a bit - going for about 100 pounds. The problem is that to 'play' the movie, it uses a stylus (the theory is just like a record player), and these styluses need replacing after time. But for true 80's authenticity, its dead cool to watch (all early 80's) films on them, like Star Wars and stuff. It all adds to the atmosphere! Jobf.
The Lightning Stalker Full Member USA 747 Posts	Posted - 02 May 2003 : 18:01:48 I have a friend that's got one of those. The only movie that he has is The Wizard Of Oz. The records are in a plastic case that goes into the player to keep the dust off of them. He showed me the record itself and it looks like a giant CD!

SpaceBoy Full Member USA 631 Posts	Posted - 03 May 2003 : 22:10:52 There is also an electronic format that predates tape/reel-to-reel: IIRC, they were known as wire-corders. They worked more-or-less like a reel-to-reel deck, except, instead of recording on magnetic tape, they used spools of very thin steel wire. From what I've read, back in the early days, they had noticably higher sound quality then tape-based systems... Interesting stuff! Just my $.02 SpaceBoy Official MLA Raconteur AppleBASIC FOREVER!

Just my $.02 That system's still in use in flight recorders and cockpit voice recorders. Wire is sturdier than tape. ,xtG .tsooJ -- who \| grep -i blonde \| date cd ~; unzip; touch; strip; finger mount; gasp; yes; uptime; umount sleep
