Latexxx Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 Just one question. Do the Hi-MD devices appear as generic USB storage devices when they are connected to a PC? I.e. do Hi-MD devices need special drivers to work as mass storage devices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadeclaw Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 Had been answered previously, so I'll make it short. According to Sony, Hi-MD units appear as USB mass storage device. WinXP, Win2k and WinME work driverless, Win98/98SE need a Driver, which is included. Sony sez, no Mac or Linux, but since these can handle USB-mass storage, it might work anyway. Music is a different case, Sonicstage is Windoze only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Sony probably says that it doesn't support Mac and Linux just so that people don't get confused. Many people will just skim read system specs and if they see "Mac" written there, they will assume (rightly, I think) that Macs are fully supported. I don't believe it is possible to make a USB mass storage device which isn't compatible with Mac and Linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadeclaw Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 I think we have the first confirmation for the Mac: http://forums.minidisc.org/viewtopic.php?p=24593#24593 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
