Is the MZ-R55 Hi-MD compatible

[obsideo]

I'm thinking of picking up a used R55 for sale cheap as a backup but want to know if it's Hi-MD compatible.

Can someone here shout me an answer? i've been googling to no avail.

**edit - i dont' really care about recording on Hi-MD, I'm just hoping it can PLAY a Hi-MD.

Anything that's HiMD will have an H in the name eg RH55 (which doesn't exist). So you are correct.

Curses!

Exceptions being the MZ-M100 / MZ-M10 / MZ-M200 Which are Hi-MD (& Mac) compatible.

But as sfbp states, a good general rule is the "H". The MZ-NH* & MZ-RH* units are what you will want to look for most likely.

You're right of course. I don't know why, I'm not with it today. I wish someone'd answer my other post, still no idea what's wrong or what to do with it.
