Have a look at the Roland UA-30 - it's a USB-connecting device:
http://www.minidisco.com/minispecs/rolandua30.html
Expensive at $240 + shipping. If it's just for recording from laptop to MD
(for MP3s, etc) then the Xitel MDPort is significantly cheaper at $60, but
works in analogue - though that's likely to be higher quality than the sound
chipset in your laptop.
(I know minidisco are US-based, but they'll mail order to the UK)
