Hi, I am interested in the transition, and wonder if they have gone as far as creating a piece of hardware yet, that is, a proto type, and if so, if you have seen it, and what it looks like.

It seems to me that comparisons of this type are not very appropriate. I would not compare for example the NLS produced and distributed C1 with a standard two-track player/recorder. The only thing the two share is both use cassettes as their medium. 73, Dave
