Yeah so my thinking was, they've got this circ buf that's got potential to
have a second use as a protection mechanism since if your using it as a
pre-record buffer it does the same thing. I thought a little more about it
and I guess your right and the 7 doesn't have something like this. IBM
started to fit their laptops with a gyrosensor a long time ago which is
pretty cool, it detects if the laptop is being shaken or dropped and stops
the harddrive when that's the case. I see your point that it isnt as easy a=
s
just recording to a buffer which flushes continously and while we wait for
hdd to recover fill the buffer.

Cheerio
Anton
