I'd skip the microdrives, buy a just barely big enough Compact Flash card

For me, a just barely big enough flash card would be enough to record
over a whole weekend, perhaps 20 to 30 hours.

Kingston Elite Pro CF cards are an example of a fast enough major card
which is widely available in the 2 Gb size for about $100. (two hours
recording time at 24/44.1)


I haven't used $1,000-$1,500 worth of media on a weekend recording gig
since the 2" tape days. Sure, you can re-use it, but it would take a
week on-and-off to transfer all those cards to another medium.
