I received several request about ideas on hooking-up a stereo to an AT speaker. #include <stdflame.pc> #ifdef FLAME I still don't know why anyone wants to hook up there stereo to such an inferior noisemaker. #endif Anyway, remove the speaker, and replace it with a 1:1 audio transformer from Radio Snack. The other winding of the 1:1 transformer should go across a potentiometer, say 1K or so. Connect the wiper to the signal lead of your AUX jack, and one of the other terminals of the pot to the shield. Polarity is irrelevant because the transformer isolates the two. Set the pot midway, and adjust it until the volume starts to decrease. Turn it a bit farther; this keeps you from 'overloading' your amplifier's input (you wouldn't want an ampli-FIRE would you ?). Now you should be able to adjust the volume through the amp's volume control. If you like to do things neatly, install an earphone jack in the rear of the cabinet. Get the type with the 'built-in switch', so you can use the internal speaker when your adapter is unplugged.. Why not pick up a cheap 8-bit D/A and stick it on the parallel port.....

By connecting your PC speaker to your stereo, you can hear the sounds a *lot* better. Mark Komarinski - take yer pick - komarimf@clutx.clarkson.edu .bitnet "Nothing can stop him.
