[Ham-Mac] How to get G4 sound input to darwinPSK

[Kim Mackey]

Dick,

Hang in there.   It took a lot of perserverence on my part, but I 
finally got things going on my G4.  I am running the sound directly 
into my Mic input.  I then select Mic/Line input from the Sound 
Preferences and turn the sound input all the way down.  I also have to 
keep the audio on my radio at a very very low level, but it works.   
It's a lot of work, but we Mac folks are going to have to work with it 
to keep these programmers interested in developing for us.  I'm sure 
there were lots of frustrations on the DOS/Windows side of this mode in 
the beginning.

p.s.  I find UNIX to be quite a challenge, but it is also slowly 
bringing rewards.  Just tonight I finally finished my 1 week adventure 
installing MySQL on my G4,  getting my Windows machine to access it 
over the network via Microsoft Access.
