[Duo2400] Re: 2400 audio queries

[Ivan Drucker]

Early Apple documentation erroneously stated that the 2400 uses the Omni 
microphone, but this is not the case. There is no Apple microphone that 
works with it, as they explain in this kbase article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=30146

It looks like it would have used the PlainTalk mic except that they 
didn't want to use the extra-length jack for space considerations (the 
line in jack is right up against the PC card cage)

Still nice info for older Macs though...

Ivan.
