High Robert, The 1.0 came about 4 years later. But even back then in the mid to late 1980's there were still some bugs that needed to be worked out. But in the fall of 1999, all of those issues were addressed and dealt with. About a year later, 2.0 was introduced. The developers decided that,

High George, Actually, the windows operating system was developed in 1982. But it didn't gain its foot hold until early 1991. But the music didn't ketch up to it until 1994 which is, when Microsoft put out Windows 95. We've been ripping and burning CD's on our computers since then. My best

Does anyone know how many conductors are terminated in the various types of USB connectors? Is audio actually carried on any of these conductors? Ideally it would be 6 conductors for audio: two each for stereo output, high level input, and low level input. However, it seems that anything I've

Hello Howard, It all depends on how the amp was made. If the amp was designed with a USB input port, then chances are, that the amp has a digital to analog converter built in to it. Plugging an amp like that in to your USB port, will give you audio. But however, your computer will see that amp
