I have not personally used one of these yet, but it would be my first 
choice of devices to consider should my Hitachi V-1065 show up face down in 
the pool someday.

A huge plus to me too.  I don't know at the time I've wasted using windows 
based tools that will not give a meaningful error to the technician when 
windows has decided to disallow access to that $3000 card the program needs 
to function.  Reboot after reboot to catch it in just the right mood to let 
the software run has been a major PITA for me literally 100's of times in 
the past as I was recalibrating new head drums in DVC-PRO broadcast digital 
VCR's.
