Note: The Iomega Jaz drive and SyQuest SyJet drive have received preliminary testing and will play 8 channels, but record performance has not yet been fully tested. It is suggested not to attempt recording 8 channels with punch in/out to the Jaz or SyJet, since performance degrades as the disk fills up and may fall below acceptable limits for 8 channels.
