When I started doing this, decent soundcards were not really around -
with the possible exception of the DAL CardD ($$$), and making your own
CDs was out of the question. So my first transfer setup was a Tascam
DA30 DAT recorder used as the A/D converter feeding a Zefiro ZA1 SPDIF
interface card, which I had to order direct from Greg Hanssen in
California. (I wonder what ever happened to Zefiro? - their later ZA2
model was pretty well regarded in its day). After the editing process,
the SPDIF was recorded back to DAT via the ZA1.

When I eventually bought a CD burner (Ricoh MP6200S), it cost over £500
and for that princely sum provided the blazing write speed of 2x. Blank
CDs were about £5 each in those days. (And to think some people look
back on the past with affection!)
