>From the Libretto Mailing List archives: From: adorable@xxxxxxxx <<me way back then!>> Date: Mon, 17 Nov 1997 11:00:55 -0800 (PST) See: http://www2.toshiba.co.jp/pc/libretto/kakutyo/7.htm In Japanese. This page from Toshiba Japan's Libretto World provides an example of using a PCMCIA sound card in addition to the built-in sound device. Thus, you can add sound input/record capabilities as well as MIDI I/O easily to any notebook with a PCMCIA card slot. Just make sure the Icard uses differntIQR IRQ/DMA channels vs. the built-in sound device and you'll be fine. ----- >From:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent:Tuesday, November 04, 1997 9:29 AM >To:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Cc:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject:Re: Libretto 70 (sound input) > >Perhaps this would be a good time to mention the Noteworthy >SCSI/Audio PC Card.

Yes, that's correct. Two separate cables are crimped into the same PC Card connector: one terminates at a box with four audio style jacks (mic, cd, headphones, line-in); the other terminates with a high-density scsi 2 connector. A scsi centronix adapter is included in the package, as are headphones and a microphone. The back of the box claims it consumes 180mA operating, 110mA idle. (Does pcmcia specify 5V power?) Also, the box claims the card "Supports Microsoft Voice Pilot and Proof Reader". I do not know if it supports full-duplex audio (e.g. for "Internet phone" applications). Can anyone recommend an easy way to find out? ---------------- From: Clifford Hui <rocketboy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 15 Sep 1997 14:41:54 -0400 I have a Nogatech Conference Card which combines sound and video capabilities on a single PCMCIA card. When it's plugged in, it preempts the built-in sound features of the Libretto. It is fully compatible with Audio for Windows drivers, but not soundblaster type functions (as far as I know). The sound quality seems okay, but I haven't really toyed with it too much. Whether or not it will handle voice recognition capabilities remains to be seen. --------- PC cards from TDK From: adorable@xxxxxxxx Date: Tue, 23 Dec 1997 21:20:56 -0800 (PST) For those who really, really want 8+ hour battery life from the Libretto today, and have a cool 109,800 Yen to spare: TDK SFD096M 96MB PCMICA Flash Card. Yep, 85-145mW power consumption (far less than the .8-1.1W of the HD), big enough to dump win95 and a couple programs to, and just the thing for Xmas. Basicly, set the Libretto to boot from the HD, then tranfer control to whatever OS/programs reside on the flash card. And, you'll never have to worry about losing info due to a HD crash again ;) For those seeking the ultimate in PCMCIA sound cards (hearing how many have asked abou how to get sound input before - throught a PCMCIA sound card is one way): TDK DMC9000 digital music card. Yep, 4/2MB on board sample ram, wave table senthisizer, 44.1Khz sample rate, General midi, and drum roll please, Optical Digital Output jack so you can output whatever you're playing back as a pure digital stream into your DAT or high-end home sound system. --------------- Date: Wed, 30 Sep 1998 09:18:55 +0200 From: Daniel Pfenniger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: MediaVision PCMCIA Sound Card > Posted via LibrettoNews (news://libretto.ho.org) > By: "Simon Dale" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > I bought one of these cards from Halted but never got it to work.

Well I retried to install one MediaVision PCMCIA Sound Card that too never worked, following the newer indications at http://shell3.ba.best.com/~hscmail/online/mediavis.htm Though they recommend to follow *exactly* the given steps, one has to interpolate somewhat and correct some typos. For example change C:\medvisn\setsound.com to C:\medvsn\setsound.com and change the ";" in the autoexec.bat to "rem " Finally the MICROPHONE DID WORK in W95 !!! Am I the first one that could have microphone input on the Lib with the MediaVision card? I didn't try the joystick, I havn't one... Caveat: the hearphone didn't worked, but I could record voice by the mic and listen by the Lib speaker. -------------- Date: Mon, 28 Dec 1998 13:22:44 +0100 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Karsten Krause) Subject: PCMCIA Soundcard Hi, after all I finally got a PCMCIA soundcard for my Libs. It's the Roland SCP-55 sound canvas featuring a GM/GS MIDI wavtable synth (354 sounds), 16bit Recording and Playback, Line in, Mic in, Phones, Midi in and out. As far as I know Roland introduced this card already in 1995 (B.C.) but nevertheless, that thing rocks. The most important feature for my work: the dynamics, in- and outputs are almost noise free - close to 96dB (max. for 16bit) over the entire freq span. Apart from that the MIDI synth sounds very nice. BTW my first WIN95 plug and play experience on the fly. ------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Mar 1999 18:08:58 -0800 (PST) From: David Chien <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: PCMCIA sound cards (or see Libretto Mailing List Archives for the following post) TDK Digital Music Card DMC-9000 (Japan, find importer) http://www.cerfnet.com/~adorable/libretto.html for details. digital ouput, in, out, etc. In addition to the TDK Digital Music and other cards mentioned earlier (see www.shopper.com for stores for these cards): Roland SoundCanvas SCP-55 PCMCIA GS/GM sound card: http://www.mooremusic.com.au/sounds/pcmcia.htm EigerMedia MutliMedia AudioAdapter http://www.eigerlabs.com/html/product_pages/EigerMedia.html (btw, they also sell the MP3Man portable flash mpeg 3 audio player) NewMedia WaveJammer http://www.newmediacorp.com/wj.html (also, GAMEJammer - sound & joystick port w/built-in speaker! http://www.newmediacorp.com/gj.html and GamePort - joystick port http://www.newmediacorp.com/basics/bgp.html) ----------------- http://egosys.net/1-pro/eng/product/wami_box/wmb.html ---------- ===== adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
