Keep in mind that he was storing/image/ data on the ipod, then OCRing it later.
This would require that the interface board had a USB host on it, support the USB mass storage profile, and be able to grok the FAT32 filesystem. Entirely possible for his character to have, but way too much electronics and would take too long to design, write the firmware, debug, etc. A better way would be to pull the CF drive out from the ipod, write the raw image data from the scanner directly to that, then do all the heavy lifting after the fact, in software, on the laptop. Much more feasible, and the entire mess would fit on a single board + the scanner attachment. In fact, he wouldn't need the ipod at all. Just write everything to RAM, keeping it alive with the battery. Then use an off the shelf serial to USB converter, and dump the raw contents of the RAM out through that.
at 16kbps, an 8gig microdrive could store enough random data for 46 days of audio.
Or at 2 hours a day, that would be a year and a half of calls.

Wrong. I have plenty of OGM and MKV files that have 6 channel AAC audio. This will most defiantly not work with AC3 passthru, so my only options are running 3x RCA to 1/8" stereo cables from my SBLive5.1, or get a card that does encoding on the fly.
I have a 5400rpm 2.5" 40GB drive (I think it's a toshiba) in a CoolMax combo case.
It came with a funky two USB connector cable (two on the PC side, one on the drive side). All the machines I've tested it with require both to be plugged in to the PC (or laptop) for the drive to spin up. Firewire works OK except on my ibook it won't spin up if the ibook isn't plugged in (in which case I use the usb cable with only the red (power) connector plugged into the ibook to provide the extra power to make it spin).
Also you can get firewire bridges that are bus powered that have a regular 4pin molex power connector to drive a 3.5" drive. I dont have the link offhand, sorry.

The screen can only handle a wopping 6fps.
Looks like it has double the framerate needed to play anime then...
Yeah, but if you get a whole ton of laser tanks together you can pretty much just rush the enemy base. Two hits is all it really takes to blow up an enemy tank, and if you have a couple dozen of them, then the recharge time isn't an issue.
Wait, we're talking about Red Alert 2 here, right?
$775 for a G4 (1GHz?) on an ATX board with specs comparable or less than a $112 Athlon64 motherboard.
Terons
$3,900(!) for a board with a 750FX processor (unknown speed) and technology comparable to what was going out of style 4 years ago. (USB1.1? 10/100 Ethernet? PC133 Memory???)
I'm not holding my breath for these. Call me when I can get a decent motherboard with a 1GHz processor for less than $200.
No, it's not really absurd.
Base-64 encoding increases file size by something like 3/2.
If you do not use base-64 encoding, then your files may become corrupted in transit.
Woah. is everyone on this thread on crack??
The LCII has NO PCI, NO ISA, not even NuBus. Just PDS (processor direct slot).
You CANNOT just cram a PCI or ISA card in it.
KTHX.

There you go.
So THAT is the reason Apple has continuously lost money with the iPod!

FCP probably won't run on Rosetta cause it's known that Rosetta only emulates a G3 and FCP needs a G4.

88c for 11 seconds of audio. What a bargain.
