Thanks John. There's some neat looking gear in what
you've listed.

My approach was to try and get a satisfactory
result with minimum outlay. For example, most minidisks
have an optical output with an optical cable supplied but
unfortunately many may not have a sound card that has an
optical input. If they do then that's the way to go. However
using analog LINE OUT of the MD into the LINE IN of a
sound card should only require a few tests to get the output
level to match the requirements of the PC card.

As to the buzz, that suggests an earth loop which can be
solved by ensuring that the MD is operating on its internal
batteries WITHOUT a charger connected and the one
connecting cable only. Not bad for the cost of a single
RTS cable. But that cheap one looks good too.

So once again, what is the best, (meaning cheapest)
WAV programme to use to store these files in?
Thanks Reg.
