Subject: RE: problem recording with V1
From: VanBaren, Gerald (AGRE) (Gerald.VanBaren_at_smiths-aerospace.com)
Date: 2004-06-21

IIRC, Rinty is blind.

For the sighted V1 users, I gotta plug my blinkin' LED patch which flashes the red LED while paused and turns it on while recording (blinking "off" rather than "on" for disk access). It works wonders for really forgetful people like me. Doesn't help Rinty, however :-(

It has a minor patch breakage currently, I need to upload a new patch that applies cleanly to the latest code.
