One of our DA88 machines broke recently so we replaced it with a DA98 machine (which also play DA88's of course)
But we also had the bloody thing fixed (at at some painful expense)... why? Because we were advised that there are occasional DA88 tapes that won't play properly in a DA98 machine. Something about the way they were recorded or something. Hasn't come up yet... hmmm... anyone else heard this?
I hate DA88's!!! AAAARGGGHHH
