o NetMD Dream Machine: Karl Bahr reports that Sharp is showing a
prototype NetMD portable recorder at the International
Funkausstellung (consumer electronics show) in Berlin. Dubbed the
MD-MT899, the unit is nearly identical in form to the [1]MD-MT888
(itself apparently the European edition of the [2]MD-MT770 ) but has
a USB jack on the body that allows 16X downloading of LP4 tracks. No
price, features, or shipping date has been given. We would be deeply
indebted to any IFA attendees that could send in a few snapshots and
details for this unit!
