Re: MZ-N505 (and others) Service Mode

Are you talking about the funny buttons > on it, which you can press with your fingers? Yeah, actually. It just doesn't make sense that they would put that into the netmd support on one model and not another. Especially since the N707 is supposed to be a "better" model, from what I understand. -- Rob Park http://www.ualberta.ca/~rbpark -- It's a mistake to think that a directory has to be a directory. - Linus Torvalds on linux-kernel

I remember when the N10 was announced I had a quick comparison of features against my N1. The only difference I could see was in the size. And Sony says it has more features. Eg. They say the N10 has something like 10 playback modes... all of which the N1 has, they just don't specify them all. -- "To err is human, to forgive, beyond the scope of the Operating System"
