[NTLUG:Discuss] [OT] sort of hardware compatibility questions

[bobby at wrennest.com]

Hi Ralph,

Sorry I won't be able to make it to the meeting Saturday (prior 
commitment). I used Audacity for recording and sox for concatenating WAV 
files together. If you can help with the Pi3 workstation that sounds 
interesting. And would be something that could be implemented in large 
numbers cheaply. I have played with the Pi 1 & 2 but not the 3 and 
haven't tried to add a hard drive. Storage capacity is a big deal. I am 
restricted to WAV format and collected 2.5GB of data on this trip. Also 
I need two screens. One screen has my recording interface showing and 
the other screen is for the reader showing the text they are reading.

Can we get together and discuss this further? My cell is 214-542-9736

Thanks,
Bobby
