Has anyone made any headways into MD DATA itself and/or trying to dump from a portable audio player?
I'd love to see what I can pull from some MD DATA stuff I've got from an old DATA EATA and a Sharp Viewhunter camera that I just can't track down the damn weird proprietary cable for that shoots on MD.
Not yet. There have been some experiments with this in mind, but nothing practical yet that allows dumping data discs. Considering that we have large control over the firmware, it should become possible with more work (and time).
