Years before Hi-MD, Sony took a stab at Mini Disc storage for computers with the MD Data format. I've covered the MDH-10 on LGR but completely missed the MDM-111 — until now! Let's install it, mess with DOS and Windows 3.x software, and run games from MiniDisc.

I searched for one of these md data drives for a while, but could only find them as part of a sony desktop

LGR is such a gem

Right? His videos are my favorite for late night. Hopefully he can move back into his house soon lol

Construction down there seems to really drag. Everything really does move slower in the south.

I never had an ecounter with MiniDisc but damn is it a cool format (same with Zip Disks) so seeing MD Data being showcased by clint is surely a treat.
