Folks
Sorry for the cross-posting, this came across the oral history list this
morning. Since we're on the topic I was wondering if anyone could
address this matter.
What's this about?
Thanks,
andy

While the Mitsui MAM-A appear to have a good track record for
longevity, it should be noted that sound archivists have found
that they have a very high error rate when first writing the
data, sometimes to the point of failure, sometimes getting close
to the BLERmax 50. So they should be used with caution and
tested after data burning. Mitsui is attempting to address this
now.
