I’m so glad Minidisc is having a resurgence. I don’t know if I’ll end up getting a MZ-RH1, but for the lucky folks who do, nice to see they’ll get some nice QoL upgrades!

Looking through the code is really interesting! I've always wondered how the code for these sorts of embedded devices worked (namely microwaves).

I recently went down that rabbit hole, just look up how often embedded devices use fixed-point arithmetic to compensate for the lack of FPU units on the chips.

I have an MZ-RH10 lying around somewhere that would be neat to try working on.
Some folks have recently done screen replacements on those and that might be worth doing first.

always wanted one of these models then prices skyrocketed. now there’s not much of a point as the primary novel feature, uploading, was reverse engineered for all other NetMD models (ones that take standard batteries and have screens that don’t burn-in), just need a WebUSB browser and go here: https://web.minidisc.wiki/
