I'm in the same boat as you mate, I've a MDS-JB980 have had it for several years and would like to start using it again but since purchasing it I have moved on to a windows 7 system and drivers for it are hard to come by. It would seem that MD may have gone in the same way as the old HD-DVDs.
But I will continue the search.
Sorry if this isn't the correct forum since this deals with a mini disc player, but I didn't see anything else that it could go under. I am trying to find a driver for my mini disc player that is compatible with windows 7. On the sony website, the only have drivers up to vista and none of them work for windows 7.
On this site, there was a download for Sony Net MD 1.0.1.1280 driver in which the reviewer said it was compatible with windows 7. But when clicking on the download button it just takes me to Sony's website. I have searched everywhere for this driver and can't find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
