Google the specs and details on the Yamaha MD-4 minidisk recorder. I have the MD-8 (love it!), and a good friend owns the MD-4 (qually great, just less channels). He's looking to sell his MD-4 for $200 plus shipping. If you're interested, you're welcome to email me off-list. Not exactly "small", but definitely a good balance of portability with a solid build quality.
