Hey all-

I'm new to this forum and relatively uninformed about the Mac (as this question will show).

I just bought a used G4 dual 1.25 with 2 ghz of ram and two 200mhz harddrives. Probably a bunch more machine than I need but I got a good deal on it. Anyways, I don't know alot about this machine but the first thing I want to do is connect it to an amp and speakers to get some real sound out of it.

I assume I use the audio line-out port (headphone jack) with some kind of adapter to patch into an amplifier.

What adapter would that be and where would I get it?

If I had this line-out port occupied, would the G4 tower's speaker still work? What about a set of Apple Pro speakers plugged into the apple speaker mini-jack?

Any help would be really appreciated-
Craig

clearly you are also uninformed about computers (2ghz of ram and 200mhz hard drive), but that shouldn't make a big deal here.

The adapter you need is sold at your local Radio Shack. Which adapter you need depends on the device you are plugging it into. They can help you with that.

The internal speaker will be turned off, and I wouldn't expect the Apple Pro speakers to do anything either. The mac is designed around one audio output. Others are turned off.

If you do want sound to more than one location, the Radio Shack folks can get you hooked up with splitters or amplified distributors, etc...
