    I have the Sonic Blaster, and while it is awfully noisy, easily got it
to work with a microphone.  I'm certainly not technically oriented, but all
I used was a standard microphone, the kind with the small, stereo
connector.  Just use the little, thin kind, the same kind that's on your CD
player and tape recorder.  It is very noisy, but it works.  It's probably
better to record what you want to say on a tape recorder, and then digitze
from the tape, directly connected to the Sonic Blaster.  The sound quality
is usually much better that way.

    By the way, for some peculiar reason, the right (the opposite of left)
channel from the Sonic Blaster doesn't play with any programs.  It's not
that it's antisocial; it just doesn't seem to like the right channel. 
Also, I can't get HyperStudio to play through it at all.  Any suggestions?
