so if I remember right, some folks had problems swapping out the drive...I take it it is not a problem anymore? and what does that do to the warranty if anything?
SD manual says that there are no warrenty implications if performed by a qualified tech.
Problems I had that I suggested might be HD incompatability problems were not actually due to the HD but were a problem with the firewire subsystem. SD fixed that and the machine has been in great shape since then.
CF is the way to go....no head to wrorry about craching or getting hot in the summer....wonder if one can remove the HD entirely and put a battery in there?
Lil' Kim did you get your problem squared away?
You probably could fit a custom battery pack in there but I think you would have to give up use of the external battery mount.
I have mentioned a few problems across various threads.
Firewire connectivity - this was a HW defect and SD customer support was excellent. No more troubles.
system freezing up - this was caused by the same HW defect as the firewire problem. No more troubles.
MP3s not playing - this issue can be solved with better documentation. They don't currently support the data rates of the files I wanted to play.
SPDIF in issue - this one is outstanding. I have not seen the issue since I used a fixed configuration instead of the auto input detect. I owe Justin a description and samples of the problem wave files. It is really only a matter for 16-bit transfers from my DA20s.
