It is an IDE one...and it's 3.5" size...it actually goes internally inside the Fostex VF16 mixer...that might seem a bit strange but it's not a particularly new mixer...it's not got a USB output or anything like that...it has got an output SCSI which techy people call "scuzzy!?" (I read that in a book!) it's also got an optical out and analogue outputs...and midi in/out...

Like I say my mixer is a bit old now really...but it works great...I get good results with it...it can do everything I need it to do...I just need more recording time...without disc failure!

Maybe the SCSI/scuzzy output could be used? I mean, what is scuzzy?

When I record these bands It's usually on a cramped stage...you guys have made me realize how delicate hard discs are...I'd do well to keep my mixer as far away from loud noise/vibration as possible I should think...
