Microphone input problems on G4's part 2

[John Richardson]

Hello,

I was reading Macspeech's tech notes. They seem to indicate that 
plaintalk mics don't work or don't work well with a modern Mac such 
as the dual 1.42GHz G4.

I was using the Andreas NC-71. Andreaelectronics.com says that it is 
a plaintalk mic.

Can the casual user recognize a plaintalk mic just by looking at it?

So, is there an advantage to just buying an adrea USB pod for the 
NC-71? I have an Andrea NC-7100 and iListen does not work with that 
USB Mic at least according to Macspeech. That may mean there is no 
possible way to re-use the ViaVoice Mics with a modern Mac.

Any ideas. It is probably time to get a VXI......
