Especially at high sample rate/word length? The largest flash memory card I've seen on the market is 512MB...that is about a 1/2 hour or less. I think this is a great concept, but we are going to have to wait a while to see it fully blossom. -bsk ------------------------------ From: Bob Ramstad Subject: Sony SDT-9000 audio firmware and software Reply-To: rramstad@alum.mit.edu Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2005 19:35:01 -0700 Hi, everyone. Inspired by recent postings here, I got a Sony SDT-9000 from eBay and following the instructions here http://kickme.to/sdt9000 managed to program it with the SGI 12.2 firmware. My issue now is that I still can't read audio DATs on this drive. I have a Seagate "Archive Python" that works fine with the same setup for reading audio DATs, same SCSI card, same SCSI cable, same software. I run RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 with a 2.4 kernel, using read_dat from Andrew Taylor http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~andrewt/read_dat/ I've tried disabling parity, tried switching two of the teeny dip switches on the bottom #1 and #2 ON because the Sony manual seems to indicate that's the right setting for SGI... nothing works. I've tried mt -f /dev/st0 setdensity 0x80 mt -f /dev/st0 setblk 0 mt -f /dev/st0 compression 0 and used tapeinfo -f /dev/sg0 to verify that my changes are in fact changing the settings, but still no luck, read_dat reports an I/O error... I can't even use dd or cat to just grab raw frames from the drive. I'm baffled. The drive initially came with firmware "T4P0" if that is at all helpful. I'd love to hear from anyone who has had similar problems or has some ideas for things to try or even better, a solution... I would really prefer to keep this drive in the Linux environment but if some folks out there have had problems in Linux and then went to Windows and everything worked great, well, that would be interesting information as well. Any help gratefully appreciated! -- Bob ------------------------------ From: "Fares Halteh" Subject: Ryan Adams still open taping? Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2005 00:51:28 -0400 Greetings all, Last time Ryan Adams cam to this neck of the woods (2003?) he was totally cool with taping and I got my stand and mics in without any problems. I am hearing reports now that he's not ok with taping, however I haven't heard any concrete word from anyone. Does anyone know for sure? I hope to tape his show here in Toronto on Tuesday and would really like to run my SD722 with the schoeps on a stand. I know the venue will deny me entrance (they always do!) but is there anyone in the band I can ask for, like a tour manager or a soundman? Any help is greatly appreciated! --Fares Halteh3 AT Rogers DOT com ------------------------------ From: Mark Mayhle Subject: Re: Sony SDT-9000 audio firmware and software Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2005 07:29:58 +0000 (GMT) I would be interested in this information also. Please reply to the list or cc: me if replying to Bob. I have not yet loaded the 12.2 firmware on mine. Some have said the preferred firmware is 13.1 IIRC. Anyone know a source for that?

Yet I still think this is small for taping a whole show (at 24/96)...it would suck to have to do a "tape flip" during the show. Oh yeah...and the 4 GB flash cards go for about 300 bucks (my 200 GB external HD was purchased for $167). :-( Still think we're going to have to wait to see this technology come around. -bsk >>> This is a good concept, but how much of a taping job can you do on a flash memory card?
