Anyone out there planning on taping this show? I'd like to work out
getting a copy for a friend or sending my deck along if possible. Could
help you w/ blanks or beer? Thanks for any help, Chris

I buy sleeves in boxes of 100 from Compusa, then I place these in 5 1/4
floppy disc boxes. These were once popular and now can be found lying around
abandoned in many offices, at thrift shops, and garage sales. Ask friends
they will probably be glad to get rid of the clutter. You can label the
boxes and they make it easy to flip through looking for that disc.

Date: Tue, 08 Apr 2003 10:19:37 -0400
As I feared, I have run out of space to house & display my cdr collection.
Friends have suggested I switch to the cdr books, some have suggested
purchasing filing cabinets with large cdr sleeves, and I too have researched
how to best handle this problem. I am looking for an inexpensive way to
house the most amount of disc for easy accessibility. Does anyone have any
easy affordable solutions?
Secondly, I am looking for a good copy or U2 from Point Depot in Dublin
(12/27/89). I understand there is a great soundboard of this show floating
around.
Thanks in advance for your help. I look forward to your responses!

Subject: MD?
Date: Tue, 8 Apr 2003 23:20:06 -0400
I'm interested in getting an MD player/recorder for occasional use... I
still plan to tape DAT most of the time but thought MD might be fun to play
with now and then. That, and a friend who taped a lot of stuff with MD a
few years ago no longer has his deck and would like to transfer the stuff to
.shn. So... what models are worth looking for? Figured I'd troll on ebay
for something. I'm not willing to pay a whole lot since it's just something
that will probably sit dormant most of the time. Just figured I'd field
some opinions here on what models are decent. Optical out is the norm with
those things, right?
Thanks everyone for your help lately with my D7 load problem and XP transfer
issues. Much appreciated.

Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2003 00:35:32 -0700 (PDT)
here's what i do when i get a tape that hasn't been
properly formatted -- it's a little dangerous, but it
works like a charm. note the exact second the actual
recording starts, using relative time since there is
no absolute time present. (hopefully there are a few
seconds of tuneup, crowd chatter, etc. that can be
sacrificed.)
rewind the tape to the top, and simply record up until
the point the absolute time kicks in. obviously pay
close attention to the clock, because you're writing
over a potentially precious master at this point.
once you've got A-Time on the tape, even one
bastardized after the fact like this, dat2wav will
read it just fine.

Subject: Re: reading tapes with dat2wav that don't have ABS?
Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2003 10:27:32 -0400 (EDT)
There are two simple, safe solutions to tapes without A-Time:
1. Clone the tape. The copy will have A-Time.
2. Some decks (e.g. Panasonic sv-3700) can add A-Time to an
already-recorded tape.
Recording from the beginning of the tape to the beginning of the music
won't add A-Time to the music section. (However, if the problem with
dat2wav isn't the lack of A-Time but the lack of formatting, that will
be solved.)

an alternate solution would be to get someone with a Panasonic SV3800 or similar
deck to write abs time to it first...

i'm not sure why you think you'd need to clean an unused deck.
has it been living in a smoky bar or other strange environment?
i could see that it might need to be lubed and/or have rubber transport
items replaced, but you might as well just try using it...
if it works, great!
if it doesn't seem to be working right, send it to Pro Digital or
a similar service outlet.

i've noticed recently that a bunch of the ampex dats i bought years ago
have developed dropouts during the first 10 min or so...
anyone else starting to notice deterioration of older tapes?
<sigh>
probably need to devote more time to moving things to cdr or dvd...

Subject: EAA / AETA PSP2 for sale with interconnects
Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2003 13:32:53 -0400 (EDT)
Due to a high tax bill I am forced to sell my beloved PSP2. This unit was purchased late last year as new old stock from Jerry at Posthorn. It costs 950.00 new. I'd like to get 750.00. I'll pay the shipping and include your choice of interconnects. I have an extra set of monster rca>1/8th and one set of Canare xlr>rca. This is one of the few preamps that still uses transformers. This lends a warm character to the sound without sounding floppy or loose. The sound is very tight and well articulated. It has a small footprint that is perfect for stealth and will run for over 6 hours on AA batteries. I can provide URL's if anyone wants a sample. Thanks for looking--Kevin

Before I submit this to eBay, I'll offer this up here first. I'm selling a
mint-condition Sony PCM-M1 portable DAT recorder that has 4 months left on
the RepairMaster warranty (transferrable with/a $10 fee). The deck was
recently gone over by Paul at ProDigital and I've used it to play one tape
back since I got it back. I have the deck, original box and manual,
charger, batteries, AC adapter, and the "leather" case. I've taped maybe 20
masters with it and I have used it to transfer maybe 50 DATs to my hard
drive. Paul told me the heads are in great shape and will be good for a
long time to come.
$560 + shipping, firm.

at this time i can only offer on cdr.. i don't have a second deck. i'm
also still in the process of transferring all of these tapes, but i would
like to start setting up some trades.
what i'm _really_ looking for:
any explosions in the sky shows i don't have.
1995-1998 radiohead shows with known gen/source info (especially november 95)
other godspeed you! black emperor shows from high end rigs.
mogwai shows from high end rigs.
and this is a very long shot, but i'm looking for a GOOD recording of REM
11/21/95. i have one, but it sounds bad. i don't know if anything else is
out there.
there's some other stuff i'd probably consider, but the above mentioned
stuff is by far my primary interest.

Cut from Electronic Design magazine:
Micro Fuel Cells Get Ready To Power Up
By Ron Schneiderman, Professional /Careers Editor
Want the battery in your cell phone or PDA to last forever? Okay,
how about 10 times longer than your current battery? Developers of
fuel cells for these "micro" devices believe they have the potential
to offer about 10 times the energy density of current lithium battery
technologies, which means a lot more runtime for mobile computing and
communications products.
Most of the more than 30 companies active in this area haven't said
much about their plans in the past two years, presumably for competitive
reasons. But market analysts who follow this technology expect it to
begin to show up as an option for some laptop and notebook computers,
as well as cell phones and PDAs, by the end of this year, led by Toshiba,
Samsung, NEC, and Sanyo. (Intel's venture capital group has invested in
two U.S.-based companies, PolyFuel and Neah Power Systems, and Intel
demonstrated a fuel-cell-powered laptop at its developers conference in
February.)
Initially, because of their size, these fuel cells probably won't be
fully integrated into the devices they're designed to power. More
likely, they will be outboard accessories. But they will be designed
for a specific product. For example, the first fuel cells designed for
PDAs will probably be about the same size and form factor as the
handheld units, but they will clip on to the handheld devices. Yes,
they will add weight and cost. But like any other portable consumer
electronic product, they're expected to start dropping in weight and
price almost as soon as they enter the market.
Currently, there are three major fuel-cell types for portable electronic
products. One is direct-methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). Another is
proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMs). Then, there are metal-air
fuel cells. It's still not clear which one is going to "win" in terms
of market share--that is, which one will be the smallest, lightest,
and cheapest, all at once in the early going. Indeed, one of the most
important tasks for micro fuel-cell developers is to miniaturize their
products as quickly as they can. (Chip-based fuel cells are being predicted
by as early as the end of 2005.)
Clearly, the market potential is huge. Just add up all of the portable
computers, PDAs, cell phones, camcorders, electric handtools, MP3
units, and everything else you can think of over the next few years
that could use these fuel cells. Huge!
