Usb/cf Tv And Radio Adaptors For The Z
« on: November 14, 2006, 01:59:57 pm »
there's been various discussions in the past about using the Z with a radio, and I think Chyang was going to try and write a driver for a CF-shaped FM radio, but I think it might have floundered.

I don't think the Z has enough processing power for a DVB-T adaptor (these generally need USB2 anyway), but I was wondering about this:

The alternative is to use, as someone suggested, a headphone with in-line FM radio like these:

I'd prefer to use my own headphones and just have an in-cable "lump" to be honest)... or even one of those mobile phone bluetooth headset adaptors with FM radio and normal headphone socket.
