Haha!
Excellent - an employee of a MD manufacturing company telling us cool
factual MD stuff on the list!
Welcome Chee Soon. Any chance of a definitive answer for the Rat about ATRAC
ASICs vs PIIIs and Athlons? And what about Aiwa's next generation of MD
products?
Cheers,
Alan.

You are right. Current generation of LSI can support ATRAC-ATRAC DUBBING/4X
REC.
During recording, the MD has to run a 2x CLV to maintain shock resistivity.
Much redesign
of hardware is needed. Cost wise, a double CLV pickup cost about 10 times
the current
single speed CLV type.
