JaBZ addict Registered: 08/08/2001 Posts: 452 Loc: NZ	Is the Rio model number of the Mk2, RD100 as well? Or is it something different to that of the Mk2a? Tony hasn't FAQ'd it :P cheers, Jaidev

IIRC, the RD100 was the 10GB model of the RioCar. Similar numbers were used to distinguish the capacity, but all were still considered RioCars (aka Mk2a). _________________________ Brad B.

It's just that a lot of people just use "Mk2" by default when they are selling an Empeg, even though it is an Mk2a. Sometimes they'll put the "RD100" model number there, so I was wondering if both the Mk2 versions had different "RD" numbers. I thought the capacity was stated after the "RD100" designation, i.e. RD100-10 for a 10gb player.. or is this not the case? cheers, Jaidev

For the record, all empegs are either Mk2 or Mk1 (and empeg is always lowercase ). RioCars are exclusively Mk2a. I guess all iPods are called iPods and only the model number specifies the capacity? Probably the same here. _________________________ Brad B.
