An agency approved USB wall charger for use in Australia will have the
following features:
1. Two angled pins, half insulated from the base.
Not necessarily if it uses an adapter.
The Aussie plug adaptor used has those features
2. A 39 mm dia round base from which the pins emerge.
Doesnt need to be 39mm round.
Fraid it does
3. A C-tick symbol with a 3 or 4 digit number nearby commencing with
the letter N.
4. Approval number beginning with the letters any of letters V, N, Q, S
or W followed by a multi digit number.
You should see all these on any wall adaptor sold here in the last 10
years or so.
You're wrong. My Samsung doesnt have all of what you listed.
Go fuck yourself

Perhaps I'm deaf, but I could swear that the video says "had no

they supposed to be?
I anyone sees other reports about this, then please post their URLs.

Australian Male plugs have insulation on 50% of "pin" length

Has anyone here used the Micromite 28DIP to connect to the standard PC COM1/2 RS232 port?
The Micromite is described in Silicon Chip, but there are no wiring diagrams that show you how to connect it to a PC
COM1/2 type RS232 port, as found on older PC's.
I suspect you have to invert the voltage levels, as they recommend using a USB/TTL converter. TTL levels are always
inverted wrt RS232.
So if you want to conect a Micromite chip to your PC you will have to invert the logic levels on the Micromite console
port.
correct.
You would basically need an RS-232 to TTL converter board to make it work from a standard PC RS-232 com port.
Even then, I haven't heard of anyone yet doing this. There may be something in the very active usergroup archives at:

Now they have OLED, not much point in making power hungy
Plasma's, the
demand is no longer there.
They were bloody awful anyway...
Agreed. CRT's had a much better picure.
But plasma was better than the early TN LCD panels at least.
plasmas still have the best picture. most natural.
If you like a grey cast over everything.
rubbish. if you're seeing that you must have a crappy one. plasma has
blacker blacks than LCD.
There has never been a time when there wasn't something better than
plasmas, first it was CRT then it was LCD.

Yeah and she ain't clapped out no more either. I'll get at least ten
years out of her now (assuming I don't put it on it's roof again...).
Anything that even looked like it might be getting tired was replaced,

My HP Scanjet 4470C won't work with Windoze 7- HP doesn't provide any
post XP drivers. Perfectly good scanner, completely fucked up support
from HP. Since I still have an old XP SP2 PC in the workshop, the
scanner is now hooked up to it. Fuck HP - money grubbing bastards
obviously expect most people to ditch a perfectly good scanner (and buy
a new one) when they upgrade their PC.
I have an even older Scanjet 2300c working with Win7 64 bit using an
2006 vintage HP 32bit driver (for XP IIRC). It's not perfect in the
sense that when I switch the scanner on it shows up in "Devices and
Printers" needing a troubleshoot and I have to re-install the driver at
that time (well, it does that automatically when I choose to have
Windows "fix" the problem). Once done right-clicking opens up the
scanner dialogue box and can use the scanner.
I can live with that limitation since it's only use to scan one page
every fortnight for my other half's work.

It's not free, but not outrageously priced either and supports my ancient CanoScan FB630U under Win7 x64.
I'm still getting free updates even now after the 5+ years ago purchase, though I think there was only one version available when I bought it. It seems I'm on the 'Pro Edition' stream which is nice!

Silly question, but have you tried installing the latest drivers
(to
get
Windows 7/8 functionality)?
http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/download/Mbox-Drivers
Been through all that. The drivers don't support the box I have
(MBOX-2). Deep down in the Avid website is a statement that
MBOX-2 is
no longer supported post XP.
Bastages!
I had the same problem with a thoroughly brilliant professional
scanner
about a decade ago - Epson stopped support with Windows 2000, and
there
was not even a kludge capable of making it work with XP.
My HP Scanjet 4470C won't work with Windoze 7- HP doesn't provide any
post XP drivers. Perfectly good scanner, completely fucked up support
from HP. Since I still have an old XP SP2 PC in the workshop, the
scanner is now hooked up to it. Fuck HP - money grubbing bastards
obviously expect most people to ditch a perfectly good scanner (and
buy
a new one) when they upgrade their PC.
I have an even older Scanjet 2300c working with Win7 64 bit using an
2006 vintage HP 32bit driver (for XP IIRC). It's not perfect in the
sense that when I switch the scanner on it shows up in "Devices and
Printers" needing a troubleshoot and I have to re-install the driver at
that time (well, it does that automatically when I choose to have
Windows "fix" the problem). Once done right-clicking opens up the
scanner dialogue box and can use the scanner.
I can live with that limitation since it's only use to scan one page
every fortnight for my other half's work.
Does the driver work with HP Precisionscan Pro ?
I don't know, I don't use that software.
It came with the HP 4470 scanner, I assumed it was standard for all HP
scanners.

There are probably enough negatives here to put people off, but
it's
going in the bin if no takers.
MBOX-2 USB audio adapto more or less as new, lovely unit, great
specs.
But software and registration code are lost, and AFAIAA it has
problems with Win7/8.

Probably was but when I was given the scanner by a friend who was going
to send it for recycling and it didn't come with any software or drivers.
I didn't have much hope for getting it to work with Windows 7 but it
turns out that it's perfectly fit for my particular needs.
So what software do you use with it? (Or works with it!)
