IIRC, the chipset used by the Zoltrix and Midiman
cards has some problems with Win2k. Or is it that
Win2k has problems with the Zolrtix/Midiman chipset?
:)
No problems with 98, not sure about XP.
Of course, I may recall incorrectly. Might want to
check the DATheads Digest Archives.

My Pioneer D-5 came with a piano recording of "Tennessee Waltz" at 96K for
demonstration purposes. I still don't use that mode, but the tape plays
beautifully through my cheap speakers.

GRP as I recall (right Seth; Jazz indeed) sold pre-recorded Jazz. Sony
actually sold classical DATs. I have one. Still sealed. I'll start the

I own a da-p1 (bought brand new) and i really love
it...but one thing you may wanna think about is how
big this freakin thing is...I pretty much have no
chance to go stealth with it where they are searching
bags (unless they aren't searching people) ...also,
the battery life is dismal...the battery it comes with
only lasts 2 hours (if you aren't using the phantom
power option) max ...I am in the process of building a
battery pack for it now(thanks Nigel), but it'll add 3
pounds to my bag ....I imagine the d8 uses regular
batteries and lasts much longer, right? Anyways, keep
these things in mind when you are trying to make your
decision..Also let me say I LOVE my da-p1, it totally
rocks, and I'm glad I got it..I've made dozens of
really awesome quality recordings with it..It's just
the size tends to be a lil annoying at times ....

I have a question for all you techies out there.
I just received a Sony rcd-w1 standalone cd burner, and I would like
to
transfer my dats to cdr's with this unit. The unit only excepts "audio
only discs", and I was wondering if or how I might be able to trick
the
unit, so I can use regular cdr discs instead. I have heard of this
method
being a possibility.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks

Subject: Taper Friendly, Ian Moore
Date: 20 Nov 2001 09:08:38 -0800
Dear DATheads:
I'd encourage tapers to check out Ian Moore's shows. I just saw an accoustic show at the Palms in Davis CA, where Ian was encouraging taping, in fact he suggested microphones as opposed to board patching. I think things might have changed since the last
FROM "list of bands that allow taping as of 4/07/99":
****************
Ian Moore <Austin, TX> He is cool with taping but his manager, Jan
Mirkin, is not. Steer clear of her at all costs. Stealth is
required. Ian recently was quoted as saying: "We don't
necessarily discourage taping, though it is conditional on people
being ethical. In other words, no selling, or in any way making
money off our music. So far everything has been cool."
****************
Whom-ever is tracking this, (if it is Kurt Andrew Kemp continued thanks), please be advised of more recent taper friendly attitudes.
BTW, Ian's web site is http://www.ianmoore.com . Quite a talented performer, not in the mainstream music business.
Hope this helps.

Just a heads up, the dat-heads archive access via FTP has
been disabled due to a known security hole with the server software,
wu-ftpd. I will re-enable ftp when a fixed version becomes available.
Hopefully this won't be a big problem for anybody
since the archive is still available from the web.

Subject: 9v battery options ???
Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2001 15:33:58 -0500
Hi Folks...
A continuing effort to build a portable battery solution for my Edirol UA-5.
It's requirements are 9v, 450mah.
My thoughts....
12v lead-acid battery w/a 12v-9v converter. I built one, but I'm
concerned about the noise that may (or may not) be added by the voltage
transformer. My configuration was a female DC car lighter jack attached
to the 12v. Then, a RS 12-9v DC car plug cord. I've all ready got a
good (good for radio shack) 12v to "whatever" selectable voltage DC plug
with the appropriate jacks to hook up to the Edirol.
Any input on what sort of noise this will introduce, if any? No more
than the wall wart would do, but the wall wart is usually not as close
in proximity as this battery>DC voltage converter would be in the field.
9.6v remote control race car battery. You can get these at the shack
w/a recharger for about $30. 1600mha. That would be the bare minimum.
Picking up an additional 1000mah battery would only add another $20 and
wouldn't be a bad idea I suppose.
Not sure if the Edirol will tolerate the 9.6v though. I would think so,
but not sure I want to risk it. Edirol USA has absolutely no clue about
any of their products in regards to engineering specs (or even simple
performance, like dynamic range). I have to peruse these questions
directly from Japan. Ugh.
C or D battery sled.
Huge mah availability and relatively small form factor. Probably about
$40-50 to construct with rechargeable MH batteries. However...with the
individual batteries pumping out either 1.2 or 1.25v, I again run into
the voltage issue. I can supply either 8.4v or 9.6v. Either of these
two options would supply enough juice to run it for many hours.
9v Battery sled is ridiculously expensive. $200 worth of rechargeable
MH 9v batteries (20 of them) would supply 3000mah. Simple to build, but
too much money.
Any ideas????

Lets face it, We are all bootlegging music!!! I would like to beleive that ethically I am somehow better than, because I do not beleive in the sale of these recordings. I will say this & then I am done with this subject & I will ignore it any more. Thats it, IGNORE HIM & HE WILL GO AWAY! All of us who have responded to this seem to feel the same way, its just not right, so ignore him & there will be no gain & no reason to stay. Thanks for the time.
