From the Manufacturer:

The ultimate record-anywhere multitrack.
Capture inspiration whenever and wherever you are.
The new Fostex MR-8 is more than just another digital multitrack recorder. It’s the world's first such 8-track device to use CompactFlash® memory cards.

But those clever guys at Fostex, have predictably gone a little further by making the MR-8 the easiest to use digital multitrack ever. If you can operate a tape recorder, you’ll be recording and multitracking within minutes of opening the box.

By putting all the major controls and functions right there on the top panel instead of buried in a confusing menu system, the MR-8, unlike some other recorders, actually aids you in capturing your musical ideas.
In addition there’s great sounding built-in digital effects, guitar amp and mic simulators, handy mix-down effects, plus the ability to hook up to a PC for data editing, CD-burning and backing up your songs.
You create. Fostex records.
