Hi.

I didn't give reference to the R-9 on Blindcooltech, I gave reference to the
R-1, which does have a review up there.  The R-9 is only just out, so I
don't think any reviews have been done by blind folk yet.

All the best

Steve -

It doesn't look like the Edirol r-9 or is it the r-09 [I've seen it refered
to as both, when doing a google] isn't available yet.

I couldn't find any reference to it on the link you gave:

http://www.blindcooltech.com.

My Google search actually brought up:

EDIROL R-9 COMPACT FIELD RECORDER
but the info was quite limited. Is this the new replacement for the r-1?

Andy
