You can't delete "Master Tracks", but you can record over them, creating a new "Master". With v2.0+ you can copy the "Master" back in onto 2 tracks, then, if it feels good, you can delete them there.

Tascam forums are down, not the site.
The latest firmware version is 2.02. You can upgrade by CDR if your 788 is loaded with v1.10. If your 788 is running a version prior to that, the eprom chip will need to be upgraded. All the information you ar looking for can be found here: http://www.tascam.com/788_files/FAQs/FAQ_788_firmware_updates.html

I have a 788 also and was thinking of upgrading, but i dont want to risk damaging the unit.
Joe, i have started to put my 788 mastered cd's in my pc and I have used music match to convert to wav, although i am sure there are other programs of course
Also I picked up a cheap $10 copy of magix's music studio at comp usa. It allows one to add 10 band eq, compression, normalization, and reverb/delay to wav files.
They have a more comprehensive edition for $40.
I was going to upgrade, but figured i would just spend the money on a ton of 650mb cd-r's for backing up, since I am using on of the Teac cd writers that does not accept the 700 mb discs.
I am hoping tascam introduces a new recorder (788 is almost 3 years old) that would have a larger hard drive and built in cd-r similar to Korgs d series

You might want to look at the upgrade before deciding against it. With 2.02 the system recognizes 64 gig. 4 partitions of 16 gig each. You also gain the ability to import/export .wav files and a host of other new things. Check here for a list of new features: http://www.tascam.com/788_files/FAQs/FAQ_788_firmware_updates.html
If your version is prior to 1.10, it's got bugs.

I already ordered.. did i have to get 2.0 first?

2.02 is the latest version with no known bugs (at least that's the claim). You need nothing else, just the 2.02 eprom.

has anyone gotten these lately? I wasnt sure if they were backordered. Also, could someone reccomend a hard drive? I saw Staples has a 80gb Maxtor for $65 after rebates and CompUSa has a 80gb Segate Barracuda for around $50

Hard drive comparison
I'll give you a site where you can compare drives:http://www.storagereview.com/comparison.html
One important thing to look at is the heat emitted from the drive.
