A few days ago, I received the unit back with a note attatched saying that the parts were no longer available. Does anybody know if Sony is still manufacturing parts for these machines? Are there any repair facilities that charge a flat fee to repair them? What is a good portable machine to have now days for good recordings? Thanks --jeff ------------------------------ From: Christian Woltman Subject: Any mac users, some questions about buying one. Date: Wed, 1 Dec 2004 20:14:48 -0800 (PST) Off topic, kinda sorta, I'm looking into getting an iBook and I was wondering if anyone was satisfied/dissatisfied, and how they feel about it. I'll be using it for school work and hopefully audio editing of the shows I tape. Eventually when I financially can, I'd like to get into taping on it too. Let me know how you like it for everyday computer work as well and anything else I should know before I buy. Any help would be greatly appreciated! E-mail me or post. Thanks, peace and blessings, Christian. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Date: 02 Dec 2004 10:21:57 -0500 I made a big mistak in not taping their Boston show this week. Looking for any recent shows / boards, FMs from this French act. Thanks. ------------------------------ From: scoper@optonline.net Subject: DAT2WAV Date: Thu, 02 Dec 2004 18:21:42 -0500 Long time lurker here - My home deck (Sony 690) recently failed, and at first glance the DDS Backup drive looked like a viable alternative to either fixing my deck or trying to find a cost-effective replacement, as I have little need for DAT's anymore, but still need a playback source for what I already have or may obtain in the future. I've emailed the guy from the DAT2WAV site, trying to ensure that if I go this route, the software will be available, but so far have gotten no response. Does anyone know if the software is still available, or if there are any other alternatives? Or, to put it another way, does anybody out there HAVE the fully functioning version of the program? Help, please! RSVP either personally or on-list - I'll be reading!
