MD: The far horizon of MP3 storage
=== The original message was multipart MIME=== === All non-text parts (attachments) have been removed === Just got back from a visit to an IBM convention. Perhaps some of you have seen this, but they're about to debut, or have just debuted, a portable 1 1/2 inch square, 1/8" thin one-gigabyte portable "micro drive" that connects to all sorts of things. Pretty impressive little thing. I think the price quoted me was in the 600-800 dollar range. Now if they, or a few competitor companies with less corporate-ness, can just deliver it for under 100 bucks. === MIME part removed : text/html; === - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

=== The original message was multipart MIME=== === All non-text parts (attachments) have been removed === Regarding digital pass-through I called Sony Tech and they had to call me back later after "checking it out". The response ( on my answ. mach.) was: "it does contain the processing of the MD output on the digital output, so my understanding is that it does contain the ATRAC coding as well as any copy protection..." In other words, the first phrase is a sure thing from some higher source, but the second is a guess on the part of the tech who checked it out. "Processing" could just mean AD/DA, or copy-protection, and not ATRAC. Still no word-of-God answer.

MD: deep optical question
=== The original message was multipart MIME=== === All non-text parts (attachments) have been removed === Here's a question that stumped the Sony tech support guy (shame) that I still don't have an answer for: If I pass the optical OUT of a DAT through the optical IN of a Sony MDS-JE630, then I take the optical OUT of the Sony to another device by simply pressing the record button of the Sony with no disc inside, is the passed-through input signal one that has been ATRAC'd and de-ATRAC'd, or has it been left untouched?
