Hello Everyone

I just became a member of this forum

Great job forum crew!

Just recently I read that there is a treatment for diabetes on http://www.healthcaredaily.org
Can diabetes seriously be cured? The source looks like a reliable healthcare news website

Could you someone tell me if this healthcare information is for real?

Thanks

Heh. That one, as I recall, uses an external MP3 player chip in a purpose-built device connected to, and getting its power from, the parallel port. Now remember that this ain’t your daddy’s PC parallel port — even the Amiga 500 (of which the A600 is a smaller variant with a slightly updated chipset) could do about 40 kilobytes per second upstream. There was even a special cable you could solder together to network two Amigas. Surprise surprise, a 320 kbit MP3 needs just a little bit under 40kb/s to transfer — meaning that the solution is prolly restricted to 256 kbit/s. Still, the entertainment possibilities alone…

The thing to remember is that many of the Amiga guys used to be C64 guys. Many old-school bedroom-style hardware hackers started out on those things.

The last time I tried to play an mp3 on an Amiga I was using an A1200 with a 40Mhz 68030 and had a mono mp3 (almost a decade ago – i don’t remember the bitrate). The decoder couldn’t keep up. Current generations of Amiga mp3 decoder code have obviously increased their efficiency by orders of magnitude if he can play mp3s on a 7Mhz 68k.

You Amiga haters might not realise, but he’s totally recased the Amiga into an Amstrad satellite receiver + added a few modifications to allow the use of PC keyboards and trackballs.

And about him having to jump forward a few decades.. Why? It’s not taking anything away from YOU if someone else likes classic computers and can be creative about using them. You are the loser, not him!

Hey Leo! Thanks for posting that “Pathintosh” link. I have the same model of that Nissan Pathfinder. That link just inspired me to do a similar mod for my car.

“I really want to know what audio format he’s using. I have almost 4 gb of music, and it totals about 55 hours, not the 222 that he seems to expect.”

From the site:
“Thats why I resample my MP3’s down to 96 kBit, 44 kHz. You can’t hear the difference, but now I can save up to 16.5 hours of music to one CD and 222 hours on my harddisk!”

Kind of eww at that quality for regular MP3, even in a noisy car. IMO, anyway. MP3Pro or WMA at that bitrate is pretty good though.

Neat hack, this is the first Amiga I’ve seen crammed into a car (which is odd, since he’s done it before).

by the way, i think the point was not that you COULD do it with a mp3 head unit, everyone knows that, but that its possible with an amiga.

like the ipod shuffle array. you COULD just get a normal HDD and stick that in your PC. but that’s not what hackaday is about, is it?

thought you guys might like this also. Its a macintosh in a pathfinder – pathintosh. Its quite nice how he integrated the touchscreen lcd into the dash with a custom fiberglass mold. Also, he got the controls on the steering wheel to integrate.

He used an Amiga AND a Trackball. Yuk! I think he needs to jump forward a few decades.

yes it is expensive for an mp3 player but the cool factor more then makes up for that i wish i and one

You’d be surprised what those things were capable of. The magic was not in the CPU speed but in the machine’s architecture.
