Fostex X-28 (c. 1992)
Not much is documented about the Fostex X-28 beyond its appearances in the early-1990s trade press. What the record shows is that it was a four-track cassette multitrack recorder. EQ Magazine (January 1992, p.16) carried a Fostex ad announcing the X-28 as a new four-track. The tagline said to rehearse with your feet, play with your hands, and listen with whatever was left over. No detailed specifications from that ad survive in the archive.
The model also turns up as the X28H in UK listings a few years later. Sound-on-Sound (May 1995, p.87) included the X28H among cassette multitrack recorders in stock at a UK dealer. A July 1995 classified ad (p.176) offered a used X28H home-studio machine in excellent condition for £200. Past these fragments, that it was a four-track cassette recorder and that an "H" variant existed, almost nothing is recorded.
