MD: MZ-R50 Test mode

2001-03-23 Thread Richard Braley
Hello MD enthusiasts, I was wondering if anyone has documented the default bios settings for the MZ-R50 or if someone could take the time to check them for me...My little cousin was playing with my minidisc player and I think I had left it in test mode the night before (I have to put it in test

Oh, I was most definitely joking. While I've read reports from several satisfied customers, I firmly believe you'd be nuts to let someone else invest a big chunk of your money for two months for a free minidisc player... G -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
