kris01 Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Hi Today i received two TDK PRO MD-RXG. One as expected contain golden plate and second one is strange dark. Both were Hi-MD. Didn't work on JA555ES but worked on MZ-RH1. After formatting the golden one behave as a standard blank MD but the other one shows on display in MDS-JA555ES disc error. Both can be read in MZ-RH1. So i think someone had to swap original minidisc plate for Hi-Md unless it was originally produced. What do you think? MZ-RH1 displays 963.9 MB capacity so it for sure contains Hi-Md plate.

Sargaso Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 The link shows what looks like some more dark ones. You might try the format again, maybe it didn't really reformat from HiMD. https://www.ebay.ie/itm/1x-tdk-md-rxg-xa-74-pro-minidisc-minidisk-sammler-for-collectors-rar/282380921914?hash=item41bf36ec3a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris01 Posted February 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 As far as I know only Sony produced Hi-Md discs not TDK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 The ONLY hiMD (1GB) disks are the Sony, either the blue ones or there is a grey kind. Those TDK disks clearly say "74". I'm sure you know that the 74 and 80 can be formatted to HiMD specifications. But you only get a small fraction of the 1GB capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris01 Posted February 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Inside one of TDK PRO case is Hi-MD plate , capacity 963.9MB so it is not 74 minutes as oridnary minidisc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 It's possible someone opened up the disk and swapped it.. but why? Also the actual case is encoded so that the sensors can recognise it's a 1GB disk. The actual plastic would need different holes in to make the RH1 believe it's a high capacity disk. This makes no sense unless someone tried to pull a publicity stunt (for fun). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris01 Posted February 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I think someone wanted nice looking Hi-MD disc. I am not big fun of hi-md so if someone wants that bizzar TDK PRO I could exchange for ordianary one TDK PRO or for loading tray to MDS-JA333ES.
