always wanted one of these models then prices skyrocketed. now there’s not much of a point as the primary novel feature, uploading, was reverse engineered for all other NetMD models (ones that take standard batteries and have screens that don’t burn-in), just need a WebUSB browser and go here: https://web.minidisc.wiki/
Looking through the code is really interesting! I've always wondered how the code for these sorts of embedded devices worked (namely microwaves).
I recently went down that rabbit hole, just look up how often embedded devices use fixed-point arithmetic to compensate for the lack of FPU units on the chips.
I’m so glad Minidisc is having a resurgence. I don’t know if I’ll end up getting a MZ-RH1, but for the lucky folks who do, nice to see they’ll get some nice QoL upgrades!
I have an MZ-RH10 lying around somewhere that would be neat to try working on.
Some folks have recently done screen replacements on those and that might be worth doing first.
