I have read some reviews about 8-track decks and was told by some
friends that is cassette is too thin to handle 8-tracks.  But I
did stumple upon this really nice 6-track cassette for $1,100.  It has 
two imputs on each channel, so in theory, you have 12 tracks.  Also
has 4 aux loops and a mixer for stereo ouput.  I believe the brand name
is Vastex.  I have had only one night with it due to "other" things, but
it is a great improvement over my Tascam 4-track.

If you are interest, I'll post more info. about it tommorrow!
