Do not confuse USB with Digital .the Fibre optic cable your using with the PS 2 is the best way to do what your doing . USB doesnt start until you get to the NetMD MD player/Recorders . Other than that ,it is the RH1 If you decide to step up I would like to get the R55 from you I miss mine . It blew up on me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmachine Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 USB connectivity (portables):pre-NetMD - noneNetMD - download onlyHiMD - up-and download of HiMD recordingsRH1 - up-and download of all modes, though SP has to be converted to a format that exists outside of MD.Your only option for faster than realtime upload is the RH1.

sector001 Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 the transfer will still be done in real time though..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmachine Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 It is a USB to optical converter for copying from the PC to MD, not in the other direction and not faster than realtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 (edited) I don't think you grasp the concept of what a USB interface is. Maybe telling you the acronym would help, USB stands for Universal Serial Bus meaning it is like a port that can be used for transferring anything (from any kind of information to electrical power), hence universal. The R-55 does not have such an interface and any adapters would not make it magically work. I think the best option to go would be to upgrade to Hi-MD or at least a Net-MD recorder.
