Look out for HiMD units with a line/optical input. Aviod 'D' models (downloaders, only usb connection). If you transfer optically, you'll need an application called 'himdrenderer' to convert into a usable format after uploading, available in the downloads section.

No particular order:

MZ-RH10, RH910, RH710 (no mic-in), NH1, NH900, NHF800, NH700, NH600 (without 'D', no mic-in)

See also the equipment browser:

You could also consider to skip the HiMD step in between and copy directly to the 'puter:

If you just want to record vinyl mixes to HIMD....

I just run a stereo mini-plug from one of my outputs on my Vestax PMC-05 straight into my Hi-MD.

Hit record (PCM), and then upload the file through Sonicstage 3.2, or Wav converter.

If its over 70 minutes (or so) Sonicstage splits up the WAV file, so I just use Soundforge to merge the tracks.

Then I edit in Soundforge and then save as mp3/etc.

If the point is just to get the recordings from vinyl to computer, you don't need the MD at all.

Just use a recording program like Audacity (in Downloads) and record in real time into your computer via Line-in. Don't have a line-in jack on your computer? Then get a Griffin iMic or an M-Audio Transit, for line-in connection via USB. The Transit has optical in.

If you also want to make MD's, it's still probably quicker to record to computer and then download to MD.
