Old books - free to good home
#1 Old books - free to good home
I've been having a ruthless clearout of old books, most of which will be considered history. They are en route to the Oxfam shop but before they go I thought I'd post here in case there was some interest. They are all free(obviously) but for the postage...

I'd like to read this one Ed,

BUT, did you realise they are advertised between £40 - £70 for used copies on Ebay ?

Blast - beat me to it.
I think I might have used Electrical and electronic principals - John Bird at Uni?

I just threw out (to recycling) about 100kg of old cpm/dos/Windows NT/windows 95/MFC/ATL/DCOM/LDAP/X.400/VMS Internals/whatever books plus all my old copies of the C++ Users Journal, Microsoft Windows Developer's Journal, DEC Technical Journal etc ...
Still got a crate of all my VMS backups on 600, 1200 and 2400 ft tapes... Oh, and a shoebox of DAT cartridges...
Obviously no way of reading them now...
Whole bootloader of a Volvo estate...

Now here's a thing... it just triggered a memory I have a of a guy I used to discuss astronomy with. He was a teacher, lived just down the road. This is early 90's I think , he had shelves full of Radio 3concerts he'd recorded onto DAT tape. It was quite a thing at the time, but short-lived. Does anybody know off-had what the quality level ( kHz/bit-rate) was, for the music DAT format ?

ISTR it's the same as a CD as you can lossless copy a CD to DAT and vice versa...
But the one DAT drive I kept is a SCSI data one (an HP), and I really don't know if it still works - not used it for at least 10 years.
Still have the Adaptec 2940UW SCSI card for it though

Aha, righto. But I suspect quite a bit of storage per tape ?
Who is he, never heard of him ?

Whenever an honest man discovers that he's mistaken, he will either cease to be mistaken or he will cease to be honest.

Yes, 44.1 & 48Khz selectable on record. I still have a Sony DT60ES unit in the loft somewhere.
#12 Re: Old books - free to good home
memory is not firing on all cylinders but I seem to recall the consumer stuff was mainly at 44.1 but the pro versions saw a lot of ADAT which was dat format onto bigger tapes(vhs tape) which could all run at x2, i.e 88.2k and 96k. The latter were mainly multi track machines I believe. It's still in use so there are machines to be had if interested.
I never got to use one but instead I had an 8 track minidisc machine which was much more practical at the time.

I once had a high-end(dish) Phillips VHS recorder which had a hifi audio record/playback mode - using the high speed helical heads for audio. Can't remember if I ever got round to trying it out.........maybe it was ADAT?

I'd guess at NICAM if the stereo audio was recorded and played back by the helical scanning head.
Regular audio using the fixed audio tracking head was fairly pants IME.
