Re: [HCDX] DAT vs. MD

["Robert Montgomery" <RMonty3@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Curious to know which mini disk you bought.  I have wanted to purchase one
for sometime but keep hearing some are having problems.  So I continue to
use my reel to reel tape deck for recording.  Reel to reel is not as good as
DAT or mini but has been working for so many years and  is a monster.
Roberts solid state which is about 50 lbs in weight.   I have no problem
buying reels of tape but is difficult taking on a dxpedition.  Cassettes are
nice but short recording time.
