Which decks have Variable-Pitch AND PS2 keyboard port?

[Guest Anonymous]

Actually I'm looking for a deck with:

     PS2 keyboard port

     Variable-Pitch

     Variable-speed (hopefully in 1% increment)

Is there a feature comparison chart anywhere? I checked the 'Spec comparison' page here on Minidisc.org, which as far as I can tell links to a French only site.

Seems like I found a page once thru Minidisc.org, or planetMinidisc that listed 'feature columns' with bullet indicating yes or no ...

I'd sure like to find something like that -- new or discontinued!

Anyway, I've done a little research and so far it looks like:

Sony MDS-JB930:

     PS2 keyboard, variable pitch & variable speed!

MXD-D5C (Minidisc & 5 CD changer):

     PS2 keyboard & variable pitch according

     But no speed control for Minidisc

MDS JE 630:

     PS2 keyboard & Variable-Pitch

     No speed control

Thanks, John

If the JB930 has variable pitch and speed, I would have thought that the JB940 and JB980 would too.

The JE770 and JE780 also have variable pitch and PS/2 port, but I don't know about variable speed...

not many have variable speed without changing the pitch. The MDS-DRE1 has speed and pitch but no keyboard input. I hear the quality is bad when you change the speed on this unit, I don't know about the quality of other MD units with this feature.

Another model is the MDS-E10/12 which I'm trying to get hold of, but its expensive. It has variable speed, PS2 input, and is 1U rackmountable. costs $467 new which is beyond my budget right now.
