Canon CanoScan LiDE 120

I checked SANE's supported devices list, and saw that the LiDE 120 is supported, however the model I received uses a different and apparently-unsupported chipset! (GL848+)

Herein are notes of my misadventure.

A PlayStation 2 controller macro device.

This is a middleman between a standard PlayStation 2 controller and the console. It can also be chained through to a USB adapter or other such device, to ultimately let an original PS2 controller work with a computer.

Unfortunately, this has an limited number of button presses that it can do! I think it's 9 or 10.

A stereo microphone just shy of being studio-quality. Very high quality and very highly recommended.

With no drivers needed, this thing has been tested and works on various Linux distributions, Windows XP, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. I've also tested it as an audio output device (a "sound card") and it works great.

This is just shy of being unused, because I wrecked the audio jack.

I got this for Connecting a PlayStation 2 to a contemporary monitor. It works great.

I also got a Round to Flat Power Plug Convertor - Black to use with a two-prong flat plug.

A basic dictaphone and mp3 player.

It records with horrible static with both its in-built and provided microphone, but its mp3 playback is spectacular. Its utterly shit mp3 interface, slow song switching and no shuffle make it basically useless as a player.

I bought this lower-sized version because it mentioned having a lithium battery. It does not, which pisses me off to no end.

While this works, it is definitely not recommended. Buy something else, even if it costs more.

There is no name brand or model identification on this device or its documentation.
Chinabuye names this item 4GB Digital Stereo Voice Recorder Dictaphone MP3 Player
This was replaced by Noise Reduction Digital Voice Recorder
