here's hopin' !

well, yesterday i was taping with the one that likes to shut down...it only had about 4 gb on it.  i *think* i formatted it recently, but maybe not.  and when the one got pops, it wasn't very full.  i cleared most of the stuff off before 10klf which was where i got the pops/clicks.

granted, my memory is crap. 

anyways, i think a new hdd *would* be the best way to extend the life, in addition to keeping the power and jog dial buttons clean (how did people do this??) and keeping it out of harm's way.  i may want to drill some holes in it to allow it to vent also.  i think that was my main problem yesterday.

theres a thread on nomadness that talks about the best HDD to replace it with, Josh. I was almost going to replace mine before I bought my 722.

A new photo from the M-Audio website. 

What I'm really hoping they'll do is post a PDF of the MicroTrack manual online.  Not that there'l be a whole lot to go over, but it would still be nice to read through the manual before I actually receive mine.  I've been checking M-Audio's online manual listings daily but nothing yet...

i think we are getting close to nirvana here

[John Kelly]

Yeah, all that stuff has been up for a while.  All we need now is this thing to ship.

Still no word on the "optional power supply"?

[Nick's Picks]

isnt that whats pictured w/the AC prings?  looks like the usb cable plugs into it...would be my guess

[jason]

Whats the current status on CF cards?  Largest size? Best deal in terms of Gig/$? Reliable/not-reliable brands?
From what I can tell, a festival-bound taper is likely going to spend as much on CF cards as the unit itself!

I took it to mean something other than the USB or Wall plug option. Like an external battery pack or something. Could be wrong.
