I am sorry Dave, but I don't think Sony currently sells a MD data deck.
It is my understanding that they used to sell them but they were very
slow and have been discontinued for years. So, if you want to store
digital computer data to a minidisc, you will most likely be using
modern equipment

OK, ATRAC is lossy and frequency-based. You cannot feed it linear data and
expect it to come back exactly as it was before. It divides an input
sample
into 512 spectral elements, which are themselv
as an audio stream first !!
You simply need an MD-Data compatible deck (e.g Sony have a few)

OK, ATRA
Much technobabble ahead. Read at your own peril.
