I don't have a Toshiba card. I have a type II CF card. I believe it is more stable because it doesn't have any moving parts, but it doesn't make any difference to the PTR1 as to how it rewinds with the current firmware. If memory serves, with the new firmware, you can have a choice of continuous rewind or the current start-stop, with less noise. ----- Original Message ----- From: "J Garcia" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 7:58 PM Subject: Re: PTR1 rewind function
