LEDZEPZOSO2006-12-28, 10:57 PMWhat is the difference between the DA-30 and the DA-30 MKII? The DA-30 MKII looks much more visually appealing...The initial MK II that came out was set up not to read 90 Meter tapes. You can send the units to Tascam to have them upgrade the unit or do like I do. On the back of a DAT tape they have a bunch of holes/ sensors, one of the holes is used to determine if the DAT is a 60 or 90 meter. Cover the hole and it will trick the unit into thinking your 90 Meter is a 60 meter. (This is real easy to do, when I got my MKII I did not know about this. Spent 5 minutes with google and was able to find out about this fix).
There is a trick with tape to fool the deck into thinking it's a 60m tape.
