Olympus WS-100
The compact, brushed silver
WS-100 is equipped with 64MB of internal memory for up to
27 hours of recording time and features a new direct PC
link capability, allowing you to plug the recorder right
into a computer, with no USB cable necessary, for easy
downloading of audio, document, image files and more.
Like the WS-300M, this recorder's sampling rate almost
forces C.O.P.S. to utilize this recorder as a control
recorder, "info-recorder," or for interviews.
