Now that I'm up and running with CD-ROM on my PC (I broke down and bought the NEC CD Gallery for $569 at CompUSA, since I wanted SCSI and my UNIX drive wouldn't work), I have 4 wonderful speakers connected to my computer. Has anyone wrestled with the annoyance of having speakers for the drive and speakers for the sound card in the computer? Any clever ideas on how to multiplex the system so that I can get back to one pair of speakers? P.S. The DeLorme USA atlas is cool, but they reduce the data by vectorizing it, and some connections are either new and therefore missing or just missing, so it won't exactly replace your Thomas guides.

Try a couple of y-adapters from Radio Shack. Bryan/DAK There is 1 Reply.

I'm sure I learned something in one of my Electronics courses which would scare me about hooking the speakers into two inputs at the same time, but since I've long since forgotten it, I think I'll take your advice. Thanks!

You can't hook *speakers* into 2 inputs with a Y cable, since the 2 input sources will not be in phase. But you can take the two inputs and merge them with a Y cable and pass that into the input of an amp or stereo receiver. … Keith
