I've heard rumors that it is dead, though I think this is only in the USA,
since our local video dealer has never heard this and says he's still 
selling them.

Even though, I don't recommend it.  The one we have is really flaky, not an
industrial piece of equipment for sure.  
1) writing time codes misses the first ten seconds of video - always.
2) on some tape, the drive motor konks out 1/2 hr before the end of the
tape.  Have not been able to adjust it for this.

Plus the command language to drive the things from a computer is really 
kludgy (IMHO).  Like they just threw on more and more commands until they
had filled up the ROM.

I'm looking at one of the Panasonic decks to replace it.
