After I'd seen Richard's and Rat's replies and thanked them, another came in
from Greg Schwabacher, the person who had originally told us about the
etronics.com offer. Thank you as well, Greg.
| The picture of the MZ-R900DPC shown at etronics.com is incorrect.
| First off, they show a Sony MZ-R700DPC. Secondly, the color
| in the etronics.com is incorrect. If you want to see what the
| MZ-R900DPC really looks like, go to planetminidisc.com or crutchfield.com.
Yes, I'd already seen it on (in retina-burn red) on their pages.
| The MZ-R900DPC's red color is brighter than the picture at etronics.com
| indicates, but it's not at all obnoxious.
"Obnoxious" is a stronger term than I'd use either, but it's still too much
for my tired old eyes.
| AFAIK red is the only color that the MZ-R900DPC (with PC-Link) is going to
| be available in. If you want a silver MZ-R900 AND a PC-Link device, you're
| going to have to buy them separately.
Red is certainly the only color so far, and if what I heard about other
colors later this summer doesn't come to pass, I'll have a decision to make.
The PC connector is unimportant to me, as I have another way to go from PC
to MD for the very rare occasions I want to do so; the reason I don't buy an
imported MZ-R900 in a milder color right now is the lack of local warranty
service.
So if no other color of MZ-R900 or MZ-R900DPC is to be sold in the US, I'll
have to select among (a) tolerating the color, (b) settling for a non-local
warranty, (c) buying an MDLP portable with fewer features, or (d) saving the
money and not buying an MDLP portable at all. One possible realization of
(c) is to get an MZ-E900 [if you classify recording as a feature] because the
MDS-JB940 that I already own can record MDLP and I have no portable MDLP
recording needs.
