Windows 10: MD (Net MD) Minidisc drivers for W10 / W7 wanted

Hi folks
I "rescued" from the tip a professional MD (Mini Disc) deck -- works brilliantly plugged into decent "Studio type Ref speakers" and a Pro Hi Fi pre-amp -- as it's a PRO model copying / recording digitally has no "DRM" restrictions -- on Consumer models after ist copy you could only make analog copies.

In it's day it would have cost around 3,000 EUR (not that the EUR had even been thought of then !!) -- picked it up for ZERO !!!.

I've loads of old MD's around - at LP you get really high quality sound for around 160 Mins per disc -- however if I want to copy old CD's (I've got my entire CD collection archived in ISO format on NAS - around 4500 of them) then there's no software around on W10 to do this (or at least not that I've found - the old Sony links are all dead !!!.

I have got the device working to copy CD's to MD's via an XP VM system, though -- fortunately an old archive XP system still had the old MD software on it -- moral never junk stuff you might want later !!!. I'd much rather use the W10 system though as my VM runs on VMWare and I'm in the process of junking VMWare for alternative Virtual Machines.

Anybody got any links.

BTW the quality of that MD deck absolutely blows away any modern set of "wireless blu tooth headphones" or things laughingly sold as "Speakers" -- game / console or even "sound bar things for movies etc" work for that environment but are not in any way comparable to high quality professional "Hi FI" systems.

Any links -- appreciated -- W7 X-64 ones should also work BTW so links to that would be OK.

(If people like Vinyl - there's nothing wrong with people also liking MD's as well --I always thought them far better and superior to CD's but they never really took off though. The sound is mega quality !!!).

Cheers

How to Enable MDS Mitigation?

I just updated my laptop to v1903 and installed KB4497165: Intel microcode updates. The security report looks fine apart from the extract below:

Speculation control settings for MDS [microarchitectural data sampling]
Windows OS support for MDS mitigation is present: True
Hardware is vulnerable to MDS: True
Windows OS support for MDS mitigation is enabled: False

Should I enable Windows OS support for MDS mitigation and how do I enable it?

 

Disable phone calls to MD-12?

Hello all,

Is there a way to disable phone calls as well as the ringer on the MD-12 speaker? I can't seem to find the way to disable voice. I only want music streaming. The MD-12 ringer is very loud.

Thanks!

 

How to Enable MDS Mitigation?

Have the same issue on my Windows 10 PC. Have tried to with adding new registry values, but didn't help. Perhaps MDS mitigation is not yet implemented for versions 1903 and 1809?
