Verituner Review

[John Ross]

Hi Joe,
I never regretted, upgrading to a SATlll.
Major reason, the flash memory.
If the internal, battery or capacitor that supplies the hold on voltage for
the RAM gets low, your machine will not work. It requires a sendback to
Inventronics for reprogramming, and replacement of the capacitor, and
battery. Note this is not the rechargeable one.
The other good things about the SATlll over the previous ones is the
automatic note advance and the smaller size, also the longer battery life.
