[Duo2400] Re: 2400 audio queries

[Ivan Drucker]

Right. That adapter only worked for Macs which used the Omni microphone, 
such as the Duos. (I think the line-level/PlainTalk inputs started 
arriving at around the time of the PCI machines, but I do not know for 
sure). You don't need it for the 2400, because the 2400 has a line level 
input already. The Apple adapter attenuated line level down to mic level, 
which the Omni-mic machines required.

The good news is that you can get the desired function with any 
RCA->stereo-mini cable which you could get at any Radio Shack (the cable 
you'd use to plug a portable CD player into a receiver, except perhaps 
with female RCA jacks instead).
