The device I mentioned in a previous post is actually sold on Amazon
(not ebay as I'd thought) and itcan be had for less than 5 bucks (us)
It is a usb device with both earphone and microphone plugs on it, and
it's as small as it can be and still fit the items on a single
device. It simply plugs into a usb port on your mac (or pc too I
guess, though I've never used it on a pc) and it is recognized by
nearly all versions of osx. I had it working on a 10.5 version of
leopard, though I've not tested it on 10.4 tiger.
The url is kind of long, so if it wraps, please cut and paste the
whole thing.
Anyway, it's at:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0019SVUQK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0019SVUQK&linkCode=as2&tag=thsisne-20&linkId=EWJ5J7JNJDMRLWRF
I have absolutely no affiliation with this product other than the fact
that I bought one, and we used it for several years until our intel
mac mini died. As far as I know, the device still works, but it has
been dropped off the desk several times since then, and the plastic
outter casing has come off, but the circuit board and jacks are still
as tight and firm as ever. I'd wager it'd work just fine even without
it's casing, but all of our other computers work, so we've not plugged
it in since the mini died, so can't say for sure. Just thought this
would help some folks, since talk of microphones and usb devices have
been on the list lately.
