Has anyone tried "1.31" aka 1.13 yet? I am taking the deck as backup and wonder if I should if it a go??!? aargh. no.
I installed it and did a couple hours of testing last night with the new version. I recorded a couple of hours of internet music, stopped and started a couple to times to create several files and then played it back. I didn't listen to 100% of what I recorded, but everything seems to be working fine.
I have some strong feelings about the text of this latest release as related to the run-around we've received from Tascam since the symptoms resulting from this issue were first identified to them, not to mention the fan boys that set up defense for Tascam against those of us that were actually experiencing the problems. But I'm gonna just bite my lip and leave it at that.
Bottom line is I'm glad that they identified that the problem was write speeds corrupted by the 'erase write' function and issued the fix to what we were experiencing. As someone else has already mentioned, a completely new 'cards that work' list seems in order since clearly the current list was developed before the fix was implemented.
