Hi,
I'm in the market for a simple mobile recording equipment, and the
Fostex MR-8 looks nice to me.

Does anybody have experience with it under Linux?
Esp:
- the use of the USB with Linux (is it a normal mass storage device?)
If it's class compliant mass storage it'll work.
I don't know, can't really find out at the site and google. Somewhere I
read class B USB device. Does that mean mass storage?
- is it
possible to update the firmware from within Linux? (otherwise
I'll have to have the shop do it for me)
- is the contents of the flashcards usable when read with a card
reader?
That would depend on the file system format. That is to say as long as
the filesystem isn't proprietary you're good to go. FAT is the usual
format.
It uses FAT16, but I don't know about the file format.

Wilbert
