Hey all,
I know this has been tossed around for years (and I know you hate reading that line to start an
e-mail :), but there is a dillema. I'm trying to update the firmware on my DDS 4326RP Archive
drive and the .hex file that is commonly found at http://datdrive.homepage.com/ isn't there because
the site is now down for good.
I've got flashdat.exe and v5acb-15.hex, but when I run that I get the flashdat to read the SCSI
ID and tell me it's located the DDS drive, but then I get the error message, "no tape drive found."
I know I need a different firmware .hex file, but all of them seem to have vanished off the face
of the internet.
I know of 4 fellow DMB tapers with the same problem occuring in the last few days.
What to do?
H!

A note to the person looking for CSN on Leno and others...
Starting this week, NBC has been showing repeats of Leno and
Conan on the *same* night as they original aired, approx 90
minutes later (two hours on Friday). Previously, these repeats
were one week after the original airdate and perhaps they will go
back to this format soon.
So, if you ever miss anything on these shows, currently you can
get it later the same night, and usually, you can get it exactly one
week later.

i am selling a matched stereo pair of SR77's that i have because i came
across an exceptional deal on a pair of schoeps ccm4's. the mics are in
great condition(they were babied). the only thing they do not have is the
carrying tubes, but i am including a case i made that works exceptionally
well. also included are a pair of DPA windscreens and a pair of 20' XLR
cables for no charge. i am asking $700 for the mics and thats pretty much
non-negotiable, so only serious offers please. anyone interested email me
off the list. thanks!!

I'm trying to scrap some money together for an engagement ring, so I'm
deciding to sell some of my beloved gear (2 recording pieces, 1 extra guitar)
that I don't have time for anyway, with a 40 hour work-week and school. I'm
looking to sell this stuff ASAP so the best, serious offer will most
undoubtedly be taken. You pay for item, then I send, then you pay exact cost
of shipping (I'll use whatever methond you want to pay for). Here is the
gear:
1. Sonic Studios DSM-6/SL mics w/ PA-6LC battery box/bass roll off.
Purchased for $575 in Feb 2001. Used about 20 times, still in like-new
condition. Offer $450 and I won't wait on anyone else.
>>
With all that's going on, it's easy to forget or not double check details.
Chris's mics are DSM-6/L SER#2932 ($350 new; a Rock/Pop mic model). The
PA-6LC (mic powering 85 cycle bass filter) costs $125 new so he actually paid
$475 total.
If this 'stealth' (or can be HRTF baffled stand mounted) stereo mic + bass
filter matches your recording needs, then congratulate Chris on his
engagement and make him an offer he can't refuse!

Subject: DPA 4061
Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2001 13:21:11 +0200
Greetings, everyone,
I've just managed to pick up a pair of dirt-cheap DPA 4061's. Since I don't
know much about this microphone (apart from the great quality of its
recordings), I have a few questions to ask the more experienced users out
there.
First of all, these microphones came without the microdot connectors and
without their battery box. Would it be possible to do without the DPA
battery box and use the Sound professionals battery box that I have? If that
is the case, I'd have to connect the microphones to a standard minijack. If
so what are the connections that I have to make (i.e. what wires go where?).
Secondly, do you have any advice concerning the use of these particular
microphones? What options do you use while stealthing with them (Oh, yes, I
forgot to tell you, I'll mostly be doing stealth).
Many thanks,
Alisdair

hi,
ive made the jump from a sony D7 to a pcm-m1 . are their any changes i
should make in my taping technique ? i'm using At 853 mics with a SP bass
roll off/battery box. i have been using the line in jack . being the line
in and mic jack on the pcm-m1 are the same, with a switch, do i continue
with the line in mode? which will give a cleaner sound, and be less prone to
distortion or brickwalling? also, do i continue to keep my levels around 12,
or can i go closer to 4 or so?
thanks much.

Sorry to bother all....but as most that I have traded w/ in the last month
or so already know...My New computer has been acting up!
Well last week I went and bought 2-60g HD, so that I had something to backup
my 60g HD that was in my system, so that when they replaced the board that
was incompatible w/ my new 1.4g system...I wanted a clean bootable hard
drive..but didn't have the time to back up my info..I was informed that the
tech that was working on my system would backup the whole drive to the new
striped Raid array that I installed, then wipe out the old drive and
re-install just my programs on the clean drive...well to cut to the
chase...they only backed up a portion of the drive..leaving out the most
important stuff i.e....My outlook files, my tape tracker files, even my acct
receivable files.
What I'm asking for here is that anyone that has sent me music, say since
June or so...can you send me a copy of the info as to what you had sent so
maybe I can reassemble my tape list.
I do have a list of most of what I have, but that is only in the HTML format
that is listed on my online tape list...so I don't have who I received them
from or what the source was!
Now to compound the issue...I also had a bunch of trades that I had setup,
and with the troubles that I had with this confounded box, moving and
work...I was getting behind on the trades...so anyone that I owe music to
please get a hold of me...so I can get back in gear!
Everything is running at high gear on my system now, I just need to
reconstruct and organize my measly collection ;)
Please be patient and much love to all during this difficult time in
everyone's life.
WOB- When I get caught with what I'm doing now :)
Peace,
Boca Bob Silver

Deck is in Tip Top Shape. Comes with case, ac adapter and remote.
I paid when new 600 + 125 for the upgrade. First 525.00 gets it ( includes shipping)

This is a definite Upgrade for Mini Mics and Mic In users. You'll never overload or over-saturate again.

Me and some friends had planned on attending some Oysterhead shows from
Seattle, Salem, Berkeley and Hollywood. Unfortunately, our plans have
changed, for many reasons. Email me if you are interested in these GA
tickets for these shows. They are general admission tickets. Of course, I
ain't looking to profit on them- I'll throw in a show on cdr too.

Sonys Factory Outlet in Castle Rock, CO. has found 35, yes 35 D-8's in a warehouse.
These are the Last D-8's company wide from Sony.
This is due to Sonys closing of most of their Repair Centers, which turned these up.
They're selling these For 399.00 each plus tax and shipping.These also may be B-Stock units and not refurbs.
Problem is they won't take phone orders or ship.
They will be in store from 7 to 14 days from now. I'll be glad to get anybody one.

Subject: Re: Historical documentation of disaster
Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2001 14:17:01 -0400
I'm not sure I agree here....
As a matter of fact, no, videotape's sound quality is not necessarily
less than that found on higher quality audio-only mediums (in reference to
DAT at least). True, your standard consumer VHS tape ain't gonna compare,
but you may be forgetting that most professional news crews and
videographers use much better. Professional formats like DVCPRO offer far
superior video resolution, as well as 44.1/16 and 48/16 digital audio
recording. So with the right gear, you can get at least the same level of
quality you'd get out of a D8.
To the point of recording "screaming people", I don't think that's what
was intended. There was no mention of being there at the moment of impact,
just in the aftermath. The sounds of rescue workers and sirens and
confusion would prevail, and the silence of the rubble would be evident, not
"crashing concrete".
Finally, I must say I'm rather disturbed by the remark about historical
documentation not being sutiable for war. Are you serious? Shall we not
document our tragedies and wars, so that others cannot learn from the
mistakes of the past? In fact, I'd say that war is one of the most
important things to document any way you can. If more people understood and
remembered the horrors and hardships of our previous wars, perhaps we'd be a
little less anxious to get into another one.
Sorry for the long post,
Ryan
