Sorry, I should have been more specific (I'm a Nagra dealer). The Orb
is a hard drive with a removable platter, 2G for about $30. The idea
is that it costs about the same as reel-to-reel tape to archive.
>By the way I think your 99% is a bit high.
I hope you're right. My Nagra repair service has about dried up. In
the past 20 years I've seen over 350 machines, but I can count the
customers currently using them on one hand.

I'm pleased to hear that. Everybody agrees the Orb is the weak link
(Will it survive bad environments? Will it remain available in a few
years?) and only experience will tell.
