I am new to this group and was reading a lot of the upgrades that have worked, very interesting. Based on what I read and dreaming a little bit, I was...
Todd: keep dreaming...however..it won't work. Hard drives won't work. Most card readers won't work. The 250 zip drive upgrade works great. Otherwise the...
The BR-8 doesn't have the brains for interfacing with a hard drive or network. I don't believe anyone has gotten a hard drive to work with the BR-8. PAJeff ......
Just to let you know that I followed the excellent instructions and replaced the zip drive with a 250MB. I had emailed Roland before I came across your site...
I wish there was a way of understanding more of what makes a particular memory card work while others won't. There must be a standard that they go by (maybe...
Well it seems this idea of making the BR-8 networkable is still in my head. So, if you all don't mind, I may just keep updating my thread here with some ideas...
You know, the BR8 is a great little machine within its limits. I sold mine and bought a MAC because I wanted to do other stuff, but I reallyi think you have to...
I agree.......everyone wants to make dump truck out of an S-10. The science projects are fun........but you have less time for tracking. ... From: Ted...
I have to say, I am a little perplexed at some of the responses. A good part of this group is dealing with the modifications and uses of the BR-8. I would...
Well, I'm a "Microsoft Certified Professional" and I work with networks and computers all day long in my job. I've also subscribed to this great list for about...
Well Ted, thanks for your feedback. I am a Microsoft Certified Applications Developer and have a degree in Digital Signal Processing (since we are throwing...
Hey Todd.....Hopefully I did not offend you with my comments. I encourage thinking and if you can help someone here or elsewhere that is a good thing. I...
Thanks Tom! I'll let you know how my experiment goes, I hope to have some results we can all benefit from. ... encourage thinking and if you can help someone...
The BR8 needs to format each zip drive to its own specs, partly I suspect because of the data compression algorythm it uses. It won't format a harddrive, it...
I think its a good idea, if you can get it to work. gopal rao _________________________________________________________________ Messenger Café — open for...
Ted, I am breaking my experiment into two areas: 1) I am going to connect an IDE to USB cable directly to the output IDE connection of the BR-8. At the end of...
Please stay encouraged to try new developments. While the majority of our members might not try the networking, a few of us probably would. That's worth the...
I think the idea of a networkable BR-8 is a wonderful project. I'm just not sure the brains have the programming for it. Unlike the zip disk upgrade or the...
PAJeff, Thanks for the encouragement. I have ordered a IDE-to-USB cable off of eBay. I should have some results on my experiment later next week. See ya,...
Hi everybody... What is the simplest way to connect my BR-8 to my computer? I have an AMD athlon XP windows machine w/ 512 RAM & standard sound card. Would an...
Search, the archives. this is a great question that's been answered many times by many people. The midi doesn't get our songs to computer. The RCA can work,...
The way I do it is really simple. I downloaded a program called Wave Pad for free...look for it on the web. Get a phono to minijack cable, run it from the line...
The simplest way is RC plugs to the mini-phone on the sound card. You could also use the optical connection if your sound card has one. If you want to do the...
In the archives and files there is a free download of the BR-8 wave converter . You can move and convert your files as often as you care to . I transfer files...
guys i just havent had much time to record in the past year. putting my br8 up for sale here instead of ebay, not a fan of ebay. i guess we could do paypal if...
Just wanted to give everyone an update on my upgrade thought: I got the IDE to USB cable today, I will be trying to connect it tonight and test with a 256 MB...
