M-AUDIO CAPTURE AND PLAYBACK ADAPTER M-AUDIO CAPTURE AND PLAYBACK ADAPTER/A M-AUDIO CAPTURE AND PLAYBACK ADAPTER UPGRADE KIT IBM Announcement Letter Number 190-159 dated September 18, 1990 IBM US - Last Revised on September 18, 1990 Brief Description of Announcement, Charges, and Availability The new M-Audio Capture and Playback Adapter and new M-Audio Capture and Playback Adapter/A PS/2 (R) adapters provide the capability to capture, digitize and playback high quality audio on standard PS/2 hardware. THESE ADAPTERS REPLACE THE AUDIO CAPTURE AND PLAYBACK ADAPTER (#2783) (34F2783) AND AUDIO CAPTURE AND PLAYBACK ADAPTER/A (#2784) (34F2784). The adapters are easy to use and work with standard audio input devices, including microphones, compact disc players, and cassette players. The new M-Audio Capture and Playback Adapters also support a variety of audio output devices for playback, including headphones, speakers and amplifiers. Enhanced software drivers (DOS only) for the M-Audio Capture and Playback Adapters provide compatibility with software that requires the IBM Speech Adapter. This enhancement allows the M-Audio Capture and Playback Adapters to be used for IBM educational courseware such as Writing to Read (R), LinkWay (TM), Basic Skills and Primary Editor. The software drivers (DOS only) also enable the new M-Audio Capture and Playback Adapters to be used as high quality audio recording workstations for courseware developers. High quality CVSD audio can be recorded and played back on a variety of audio boards including the IBM Speech Adapter. The software drivers can be used in a network and stand-alone environment. The new adapters also work in conjunction with the Audio Visual Connection (TM) (AVC (TM)) licensed program (Programming Announcement 289-333, dated June 20, 1989). AVC is an application enabling program that helps users create and present high quality, interactive, multi-media presentations. The M-Audio Capture and Playback Adapter Upgrade Kit is provided to update the previous versions of Audio Capture and Playback Adapters. The new M-Audio Capture and Playback Adapters are manufactured by Tecmar, Inc., exclusively for resale and service by IBM.
