Years before Hi-MD, Sony took a stab at Mini Disc storage for computers with the MD Data format. I've covered the MDH-10 on LGR but completely missed the MDM-111 — until now! Let's install it, mess with DOS and Windows 3.x software, and run games from MiniDisc.

I never had an ecounter with MiniDisc but damn is it a cool format (same with Zip Disks) so seeing MD Data being showcased by clint is surely a treat.

I searched for one of these md data drives for a while, but could only find them as part of a sony desktop

LGR is such a gem

Construction down there seems to really drag. Everything really does move slower in the south.
