Re: Alesis Masterlink on Sales via eBay

Oh, dear.  Mine shipped just before that email went out.  :-(

The reason I couldn't go with the Edirol is that my digital board,
from which I record, is coax out -- and the edirol is optical.

It'll probably do just what I want, which is to record my shows off the 
board.

btw -- we're doing another open loop on Feb 11 afternoon.  Do drop by!
 I'll send more information as I get it.
