I have an opportunity to acquire cheaply a complete rig of the MDH-10 Portable MD-Data drive (vintage 1995). The only thing I'd have to add is a SCSI2 PC Card. The potential problem is that the orginal drivers are for DOS/Windows 3.1 (!!!) Does anyone know if the MDH-10 can be made to work under Windows 2000 Pro? I gather that Sony Deutschland used to maintain drivers for this thing, but they don't seem to anymore. Anyone here actually done this? If so, would you be willing to part with a copy of the drivers? Any info would be helpful. Thanks in advance. (Of course, I could meet my needs very elegantly by purchasing a new MZ-RH1 recorder, but that is just too rich for me presently.)

The unit is an internal Sony MDM-111 with a SCSI connection. My desktop does not have a SCSI controller in it, so I would again rather hook it up to the laptop through the PC Card slot. Any ideas? Thanks.

I have a Sony DATA MD pc drive that I would like to install; however, my aging desktop machine does not have a free 3 1/2" slot. I would much rather use the drive as an external peripheral on my laptop (or even on the desktop, in a pinch). Does anyone know if this is possible? Has anyone accomplished this? In any case, does anyone have any suggestions? It would, of course, be most convenient to have the drive in an external USB housing, but I will entertain any viable solutions. Thanks for the help, everyone. (This is my first post to the Forums, so please forgive me if this topic was beaten to death in some earlier posts.)
