Can you use a minime to do transfers?
« on: May 14, 2003, 09:51:41 AM »
I was just wondering can you use a MiniMe to do a DAT to HD transfer? I plan on running my laptop at 24/48 out of the mme using the usb. But as I don't have taper's for 3 of the 5 shows I'm doing and while alot of you guys have agreed to haul my gear in. It may be much to ask to haul that in as well. Maybe not but I got to thinking does a Mme have a digital in? Just curious mostly. I'm sure i can talk you guys into being my sherpa ;)

No it doesn't...

Technically it's possible to use it to put data into a PC but it is less desirable due to the additonal AD conversion...

Hmmm I see. I guess I'm lugging the laptop in ;D. Now I need to get a power inverter so I can charge my laptop batteries at night while camping.
Thanks

The aztek does not require the car to run. It's got seperate plugs. That car does it all ;).

It's got sep plugs or sep battery??  Unless it has a battery for the starter and another for all the other jazz I'm saying you'll need to run the car so the battery won't lose enough charge to start.

Even with run down protection on it? I am hoping to get a camp ground with AC so it won't be a major issue. But I may need someone here to provide a recharge. Or if I can find cheal hotels it will be a moot point.

Or does anyone know of any small portable generators? Quite ones that won't get me into trouble in a camp ground?

I forgot it had the rundown protection, but that brings up another issue.  I really doubt you would get that much of a charge before it shuts down.... hence you'd need the car on so it doesn't fall below the 9V.

Rob,

you're talkin kinda crazy here bro!  ;)  

instead of buying a generator or some such, just pick up a couple more batteries from Batteries Plus or somewhere.  ya got time.  mouser.com has some great deals.  just get yourself enough battery power to do a three show run.  then use the power invertor to charge while driving to the next town.  

otherwise, i've got some extra batteries ya could borrow.  but once you pay shipping on those, ya might as well buy yer own.  hehe...

lemme know if ya need the extras.  could give them to ya at Alpine.  you'd just havta ship 'em back.  BTW:  what ya need?  6V or 12V?

peace

I was talking with dave morrisson of micsupply.com fame, and he was telling me he uses a 12v deep cell boat battery to recharge.  He told me they run 50 bucks at costco and work just like generators.  He c harges 2 12v off of his at a time while using the others.  Anyone got some links?  I will look later when I have time, but it sounds like a dandy idea!

Dave, I'll be ok on the 12v for the mme. Just the laptop batts have me concerned.I have 2 4 hr external batteries.I switch at set break to be safe. I know of the thing that Daryan mentioned I'm going to check into that a guy here at work bought one for  a different reason. I think I can use the Car adapeter to charge the Laptop batteries. But always looking for a better way.
