I would guess that the "bonded leather" was polyurethane-coated fabric, or as it's known after a few years of use - polyurethane crap.

Assume the data recovery company were aware that the failed HDD was formatted using Fostex FDMS3 disk management system. I supposed they would have had to have known this to clone the data - I don't know. But could the process have involved formatting the drives as conventional PC e.g. FAT32?

Thanks for that. Have conifrmed in SERVICE MODE/VERSION that the deck is at v1.28 6/8/16. The MENU/ENTER + STOP command to get into SERVICE MODE is not documented in the User Manual which seems like a strange ommision to me. I'm now in two minds about updating to v1.31 as they deck is...

The zip contains one file - MR8HDCD_V104.MOT - no text or pdf file to explain what to do & what it will do. Are you suggesting that I should install this (some way) & then I will know that the deck is fully uptodate i.e. v1.04? Surely there's some way to check which version the deck has before...

Sounds fine to me; particularly for a first attempt.

Where do I find out what the software version is?

Just tried again & the site is available :-)

Have been trying to get on the Fostex web site for 4/5 days with no luck. I click on liks & nothing happens. I seem to remember that when I downloaded the MR-8HD user manual I saw Win7 and/or Win10 USB drivers. Does anyone have these that you could e-mail them to me? Additionally, I'd...

There were no bad sectors. I've just assumed that the Fostex system had a top level for formatting. Others had suggested it was 120GB/140GB.

I recently acquired a used VF80 locally & installed a spare 7200rpm WD drive replacing the original 20BG HDD. It formatted down to 138GB. Just getting used to the functions & controls. Exporting 4min song on tracks 1-8 to an SD card in a Cakewalk VS100 (the only device I have with coax input)...

I don't know whether I have the answer. I tried to change my account e-mail address recently & received an e-mail from HomeRecording to confirm this by reply. I immediately got an error message when activating this stating "Oops, we ran into some problems" which left me unable to post. I tried...

I've downloaded the user manual but can't find a reference to whether this is a feature or not. This is prior to buying one second hand. I realise most people would do this retrospectively using a wav editor. I know with some of the low-end PCM recorders from Tascam & Zoom that it's possible...
