Did you look at the Fostex flash recorder? At a list of $1200 it looked like a great option. With a 5 gig flash card you get 2 hours of 96k 24-bit recording. It also takes the 1.8" PCMCIL hard discs. http://www.fostex.com/index.php?file=products/pfr/fr2 -- Konrad Strauss Recording * Editing * Mastering * Production http://php.indiana.edu/~kstrauss
