Amiga USB to HiMD???

[MaDDuck]

here's a silly one.....

I just picked up a SONY MZ-NH-600D HiMD recorder.
http://www.minidisco.com/mz-nh600d.html

The docs say it is 100% windows ONLY. I do have to run winderz (in emulation I SWEAR!) to do music transfers.

I use Macs and Amigas in my houshold!!!

So I plugged the USB cable into my Mac and BAM it showed up as a device called NO NAME and gave me 1GB of removable storage!!


If I add USB (take your pick of cards) to my A4000, will it be able to access the MD recorder?? I could sure use a 1GB removable drive on it that doubles as a music player!!


Suggestions anyone?

Thanks! :-?

oh, and just to clarify, HiMD is the latest incarnation of Sony's 10 year old Mini Disc format which has grown from one hour capacity to around 45 hours compressed.

And in the HiMD format, it allows the discs to work as 1GB FAT formated.

DO any other Amiga users have one?

thatnks man!!
I can testify that HiMD is a fantastic format! Sony even improved SS2.0 a bit!

I picked mine up at the Sony Style store here in Houston (the Galleria!). All I need now are some HiMD blanks.....


Sounds encouraging, I may have to get a USB card for my A4000 then! The 600D is NOT a speed demon, but it's MORE than adequet.


And if anyone here wants to get one, www.minidisco.com is a great company that I've ordered from for YEARS....


Oh, yeah- I'll be watching to see your A4000 USB results, should be intresting!

Thanks! :-)
