Hello Sue,
Your definitely on the right list for this. I recently did this and got
a lot of help on it, it is definitely doable with the hardware you have. I
have a machine with 256 mb of ram and a 20 gig hard disk and it worked fine.
How much are you planning to bring over i mean length of the tape?
What i use is a program called Goldwave, as recommended by several on
this list. I love it, there's in my opinion a lot to learn, but you can
tackle just what you need and learn the more advanced stuff later.
You'll need a cable going from the RCA outs on your tape deck, and i
don't recommend a walk man, if you have one a stereo deck would be best.
Anyway, the cable, and again was pointed out by a member of this list, is
called a Stereo Y jack, it has two RCA connections that go in the RCA outs
on the stereo deck, to an 1/8 inch connector on the other end, that goes in
to the line in on your sound card.
Hth
Dave.
