who were asking about digital recording to MD from a Mac.
>I bought a Sony MiniDisc (model MZ-R70 Blue). It came with a PC Link

>using SoundJam or similar audio software.

>I decided to try it anyway on my PowerBook G3/500. To my wonderful
>delight, it worked! I plugged it into the USB port and the computer
