BRC and HD24 see and communicate with each other but unless I
pre record something _before_ turning the BRC on, no transport
controls on either device work. Neither manual says anything about
this. Anyone else have this experience?

The impression I got from the Yahoo HD24 forum was that the BRC
and the HD24 aren't very compatible. There are likely several good
discussions available for review in their archives.

This is true. Alesis never made the full remote for the HD24, though I
wouldn't have expected it to (not) behave as Rick described. Maybe it
has to do with kick starting the time code. Remember that the original
Alesis ADAT required that the tape be formatted before using it. The way
that the HD24 uses the disk isn't with a full random access file system,
it emulates a tape (or rather three of them).

Research has shown that what I originally posted about is normal
behavior for this combination. I can live with it.
