Re: More Non Loop re: MD-optical out?

["Greg S" <g716@hotmail.com>]

After the recent MD posts, I too became very interested in them as a low
cost, portable, recording alternative to DAT.  The obvious question for 
many
of us is the whole digital out issue -- why not protect the quality by
maintaining it's digital integrity!

Unfortunately, my research* today indicates no one makes a PORTABLE 
recorder
with an optical or digital output in addition to the input.  Apparently 
Sony
used to make one, but no more.  I got the impression a lot of the "MD 
Heads"
have both portable recorders and stand alone home systems as well.

* research consisted of surfing:
