This is becomming a pretty common question, and the answer at the moment is no. Only Hi-MD decks currently available are from Onkyo.

Maybe Sony has something up it's sleeve for 3rd generation models....

Actually, I guess I should've asked if any company had released a component stereo deck. I just assumed that Sony would've released one before their competitors! Have user reports about the Onkyo been positive?

It's really a shame that Hi-MD couldn't have been ready for the public a year or two earlier. It addresses most of the shortcomings that were keeping people away from MD, and it seems like a really great format overall. It just seems to have come on the market at a time when there's too many competing formats. I'm not sure it's going to become a standard. Guess I'll wait and see where it goes before I take the plunge.

A friend of mine has just bought one of these sony Hi-Md Decks and it arrived to Chile (south America) last week. It's awsome! I want to buy an Onkyo deck, but now I don't really know what to do...

Thanks. These look really nice. They may not be full-size, but that might be a good thing in that they'll fit in places a full-size deck wouldn't (on top of a computer, etc.). They're pretty pricey, though!

Are you sure the Sony one you pointed out (MDS-JE480) is a Hi-MD recorder and not just a normal MD deck?

Dam, those are expensive, and no digital out :-(

Maybe Sony will do the right thing and put one out.

It's great to see Onkyo made a couple, but I don't see them on their website....
