How would the microdrive affect recording say with the Marantz deck that is available? I have thought about getting one but several hundred for just a 1 gig CF is TOO much.

That's interesting, be cool to test, with a sustained data rate of 4-7mb/sec I think it could... its a little over 8mb/min for .wav so shouldn't have any trouble writing - Here are the complete detailed specs:
