Yeah, a friend of mine has one of those. In fact I think it is a
Tascam.  Incredibly brain-damaged about storage devices! It can only
talk to one scsi device at a time (as in: per recording session). No
transfering between different devices! Ludicrous.

They're kinda nice, but painfull when you hit limitations that wouldn't
be there if it was simply a full computer.

And of course, except at the extremely high end, most "8 track" recorders
can only record two tracks at a time.
