It depends upon your tape machine.   Some decks have an audio out while 
others have a speaker out.   Speaker outs are an amplified signal which can add 
distortion.   Line out is the best way to go.   Some outs are balanced others are 
unbalanced.   Suggest that you Google your deck name for specs if you don't 
already have them.   The Powerbook has an audio to digital converter built in, 
so you do not need an iMic, just a cord from the deck out to the miniplug of 
the record in of the 17.    Apple.com/support will have the a-d specs but I 
think they are something like 20hz to 20khz.   Hope this helps.
