The Sony PC-link kits are only good for sending sound from the PC to an
external recorder. You need something else if you want to record digitally
from MD into the PC. Try the Roland UA30, EgoSys U2A, or Canopus MD-Port,
all of which support both digital input and output over USB. By the way, if
you don't have USB, then none of this makes any difference at all. The Sony
PC-Link gear is also only for USB. If your computer
doesn't have USB, then you need to have a sound card with digital I/O ports.
By the way, I have the Canopus MD-Port, I ordered it through
Japan-Direct.com. It's
nice, perfect for the task: mini-optical input and output, hooks right up to
my JB920 deck and my VAIO F190 laptop. It's a shame I can't read Japanese,
but it's easy enough to use that the accompanying docs and software are
irrelevant.
