If the Masterlink is going to be your only recording medium I'd suggest looking
for something else. I record performances of the Vermont Youth Orchestra a
couple of times a month. When I used to bring my Masterlink I always brought a
DAT machine to run in tandem, as the Masterlink proved to be prone to
hiccupping after a half hour or so.
Now I use Pro Tools LE with an M-Box and a Powerbook G4/667 with an external
Firewire drive with no problems. When I get back to the studio, I plug the
firewire drive into the studio's Pro Tools HD system and editing and mastering
are a piece of cake.
