apologize for bringing this up one more time.
I heard about the 650MB MDs a while back, but they weren't in use at that
point. Though I recently noticed Sony is using them in one of their
camcorders. This makes me wonder
I think it's unlikely for a number of reasons.
1. Even as popular as MD is right now, the idea of what it is hasn't
exactly sunk in for the public. Now, because the 650MB disc is not
compatible with anything in existence, there's going to be a lot of
confusion involving "which disc is which".

the digital out successfully interfaced to my SONY JE510 deck for
