Mini-disk Data Transfer question?

Question

I have a Yamaha MD8 mixer/recorder which records to mini-disk. I want to get the 8-track data onto a PC. Where might I get hold of a Mini-disk disk drive (in the UK) for a PC or is there a better/alternative way to transfer the data to a PC ?

I Look forward to your replies...thanks

Andy

Answer 1

Mini-disk is based on propriety hardware and software formatting that was specifically designed to prevent you copying (your) digitised music.

Sony has now removed most of the copying restrictions, however I expect you will need to find the correct Sony software to support the transfer to a PC.

For an actual drive, try eBay

See wikipedia reference below and good luck !
