RE: AW: CFC Speeds for Repeater

[Dan Ash <Daniel.Ash@Verizon.net>]

I can't offer advice on the best deal - but my understanding is that you 
need to purchase a CFC with the Hitachi controller, and Pretec is 
charging a premium for it .  I recently paid about $200 US for the 512 
Mb CFC.  Seems to work great, but I haven't tried anything too tricky - 
records in stereo and plays back four tracks without breaking a sweat.

I didn't see the same part number (CFH512EHG) listed at all on the 'USA' 
version of the Pretec catalog link that Gunnar Backman posted.

I purchased mine by calling the company as they preferred taking the 
credit card info over the phone.

I asked for the 512 Mb CompactFlash with Hitachi SAH05 ATA Controller 
(CFH512EHG).  I had it in a few days.  My display now shows 96 minutes 
of sampling time available...

BTW You can transfer files from the CFC to the computer and back to the 
card by instering the CFC into a USB reader.  It sees the CFC as a USB 
device and building a loop library is as simple as drag & drop....
