<div><font color="#000000">I think there are lots of good digital
recorders on the market now and two that are reasonably cheap are the
M-Audio</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">Microtrack (I paid US $300) and the newish
Edirol R9 (http://store.robotspeakstore.com/edr9poaure.html $399). The
issue with them is having a computer to which you can copy data after
the card is full.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">I don't know about minidisks and am
cautious of them as it is not always easy to retrieve the data without
redigitising. If you use HiMD you may be able to record wav files
rather than ATRAC format (which is not archival). But there are
problems with that too (read Gerd Klaas's article in the LAN,</font>
http://www.mpi.nl/LAN/issues/lan_05.pdf<font
color="#000000">).</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">I think DAT is now superceded (we couldn't
get a new playback machine anymore).</font></div>
