I've not experienced any technical problems with the Sapphire No. I, which is a
great product with a nearly the same strenght as Mephisto Lyon 16Bit. SSDF has
the Sapphire's around 2100. The *Diamond II* which Carl mentioned is better for
home use I think, because it has a board built in - afaik, processor and program
are the same as in the handheld.
