Sonic Stage Connection issues

Hi all,

I recently downloaded and installed SonicStage4.3 from the Sony website to my laptop. When I connect my MZ-NH700 MD walkman it is recognised and allows me to control it and transfer to/from it no problem. But when I connect my MDS-JE780 NetMD deck SonicStage doesn't seem aware of it at all. Windows recognises that a device has been connected but not SonicStage. I've made sure the JE780 deck is in NetMD mode but it doesn't see it in SonicStage.

Any ideas why this could be? Should I be using an older version of SonicStage to be compatable with the 780 deck?

Any advice much appreciated,

Thanks,

Dave.

This may seem outrageously stupid, but SONY have removed Plug and Play identifiers for decks from their driver packages some time ago. The actual identifiers that have been removed are USB\VID_054C&PID_0080 and USB\VID_054C&PID_0081. The current NETMDUSB.sys driver file should work with decks, but it won't, because the required identifiers are missing from its INF installation file.

You need older drivers. Get them here: http://forums.minidisc.org/downloads/download.php?file=62 - they work with SonicStage and MDS-JE780.
