Actual Playing Times for MiniRepeaters:

The following tables show in seconds the capacities of several different

types of Eproms at several different fixed bandwidths. With the exception of
when you are recording a Ôsilent spielÕ or sub woofer rumble, it is rare to use
sample rates below the 5 KHz bandwidth. All values shown are in seconds.
