If the cable in question is a striaght through cable using rj45 connectors
I would highly recomend going and getting a standard Cat5 patch cable in
the desired length. This will meet your needs perfectly. If in doubt it is
easy. Go to the store with the unit and check it out. The cost is a few
minutes time to find out. The cable shouldn't run more then a few dollars
if you choose grey. A little more for other colors. One option you might
consider is getting a snagless cable. It will cost a couple more dollars,
but is designed so the tab that holds the cable in won't catch on things
and will be less likely to break.

The connector for the dectalk express and an rj45 are not the same. The
connector for the dectalk is a six conductor design where the rj45 is an
eight conductor design. They are not the same size either. The rj45 is
bigger. Plus the dectalk connector has an offset clip.

I know this was discussed recently on this loist, but I lost the solution.
I'm trying to install cdrdao but need both the libgdkmm and the libgtkmm
libraries. rpmfind doesn't seem to list these. Where do I go? Is this
something I get from my distro? Seems that it's more general than that.
Thanks in advance as always.

Oh if you build your own from source you can dispense with gtk altogether, you
however do need to install pccts since cdrdao relies on that for parsing. You
also need flex I seem to recall but it is basically a
./configure;make;make install job once you hive pccts or is
it pccts installed.

Hi Kerry,
I'm actually trying to install this myself, and when I do the configure, it
eventually tells me that I don't have pccts installed. However, I got the
package from Debian (using apt-get); it gave the same error. So I got the
source and made it and copied all the binaries from that to /usr/bin. Tried
configure again and got the same error, that it couldn't find an
installation of pccts. So what am I missing?
On a related note, the latest version of trn tells me it can't find the gnu
C libraries, which seems like an odd thing for it to say. ...

Buddy,
The problem you are having is common to those items that need the pccts
installed. The root of the problem is that pccts is installed into a
different location then all the programs that need it to compile. I don't
remember the details beyond that. I copied pccts to the directory looked
at in the config file when I needed it.
As I recall pccts is not actually a dependancy. It is a helper for the
compiler. You can then copy the binary to another machine without pccts
and it will run fine.

You have to use some --with options now this is from memory
./configure --with-pcctsinclude=/usr/include/pccts --with-pccts-bin=/usr/bin
do a ./configure --help or download the statically linked binary off the cdrdao
home page :-) It does build. Really it does.
You need the pccts package installed and telll it the includes are in
/usr/include/pccts I assume Debian here.
Regarding the copy of trn, I just install the Debian package but I don't
know what you run, if slackware surely they have it packaged.
Regards, Kerry.

cdrdao is a disk at once cdr tool. It uses cdparanoia and other packages.
I have been having problems getting it to work with my toshiba 40x scsi
reader. It can read the toc just fine. It also can read the cd audio
just fine so it says. It actually makes files with nothng but white
space. Kerry do you know anything about this. Kirk and I spend a few
days working on this one. I can use cdparanoia just fine with this drive.
I also have seen my drive listed on the compatible drives list. Although
it seems that there is a toshiba driver out there that I don't have. I do
have the latest version however. Somebody know what's up with this?
TIA

Aparently 1.1.4 adds a driver for toshiba drives. It is a scsi3_mmc driver with
toshiba work arounds or something.
Toshiba make damn good drives, pitty their firmware sucks occationally. See
if there is newer firmware for the toshiba drive, those things are flashable.
Often it is digital audio reading that suffers in a drive since it is one of
the features they spend least time on unless they are plextor.
Here's me dreaming of a 32plex. Cd rips at 32x 100% clean, a whole disk in
3 minutes. Pardon me whilst I wipe the saliver off my keyboard :-)
Regards, Kerry.

Thank you very much. I knew you would come through for me. Now about
those plextor drives. If they can really do 32x ripping then I will just
forget this Toshiba and grab one of those. At the time that I bought this
drive I was thinking about going with one but twice the price made me
think. But hey if they kick ass then I might as well just spend the
money. In the mean time I will grab the latest package and get some
firmware update.
Thanks

Incredible, don't the connectors come from digital? One of them works, but
one is broke, the cable is just fine.

Interesting, I had my laptop in it's case in the car on a long trip last
October. I really didn't want to bring it, but I needed it for an
assignment I had then, and when I plugged the cable in to the laptop, in to
that square adapter, the tab didn't lock, and when I flipped it back to the
position it should've been in, it broke off, but that cable is too short
for using the synth with anything else but a laptop, even on my lap to next
to me is pushing the distance the cable can go. Why did they make it so
short? Especially where I'm likely to work to use it, there's probably not
a wall behind every machine to mount it on.
