Hi everbody,
Firstly id like to thank Azureal and Losio for their help, thanks guys. I got it working now, without the battery. I took your advice.
The power supply has not arrived yet, the unit powered up tho when I hooked it up using my iphone charging plug!
I then installed the drivers and sonic stage ultimate edition from this great site, the unit then powered up via USB.
I just got to read the downloaded instruction manual and figure out how to use sonicstage now :-)
I might get a battery although no plans to use this recorder outside.. so will wait and see if I can pick up a bargain.
Thanks again, and good to find this great site.
