Default Will DAT last as a format? (honest...not a troll/flame)

How about the Marantz solid state recorder? The idea of no moving
parts, together with non-volatile media sounds delicious!


I worry about long-term storage of the novram. Not that I don't also
worry about long-term storage of the CD-R for that matter.


The novram (flash card) is so expensive that you wouldn't use it for
long term storage. You'd record your concert with it, then transfer
the bits to a computer, and to your favorite archive medium from
there.
