Hi..... (newbie here, just joined this forum/introduced myself)
I bought a used Fostex MR8 (the red version, not the mkII)
I've inserted a new blank SanDisk Ultra 4GB 30MB/s CF card into my Fostex MR8
and I get a "Card Error" message...
...I've tried the Menu button, and the screen won't change to show
the menu. The screen stays stuck with the "Card Error" message display.
I can't even create a song (just a 1-track mic test "1 2 3")
to store it internally in the MR8 (its gotta have some kind of built-in
hard-drive, right?)
so that I can load it into the CF card... I'm reading the PDF manual as I
go along, but by this time I'm already aggravated.
I'm assuming that my MR8 can't recognize my $30 4gig CF card, so I'll just
have to use a lower-capacity CF card.
I've also downloaded an update for my MR8 (which I don't know how to
install it into the MR8, but I'll address that situation in its proper thread
later on after I figure out how to get my 4gig CF card working).
Any help and/or suggestions would be very much appreciated,
Thanks in advance.
