On the subject of recording, does anyone know the location of details of the
wiring for the din plug at the back of the beeb to connect the tape
recorder?
I need to connect the din plug from the Beeb to a standard jack plug to plug
into my recorder so (although I won't have tape control) I need to know
which pins carry the audio signal.
I have also had a very kind offer of the disc with the formatting utility on
it so hopefully that will solve my problems (he said not convincing
himself).
Thanks,
Colin Hill
