Great Minidisc collection-I have a MZ-R700 and a Netmd MZ-N510 in my collection.
Will post some pics of my MD Walkman colllection soon.
The minidisc better then the ipod, sounds so much better, drums sound like drums Ipod sounds mudded on certain parts of the music. very good for recording, only thing that held it back was the software,Sony started to treat there customers like thiefs by not allowing you to tranfer your voice recording back on to you computer, and no 64bit OS support for the drivers. Trying to get a hold of the Hi-MD MZ-RH1 suppose to allow you to change you recording level while recording and does linear pcm instead of bitstream, it sound much better.
Nice walkmans
I have 2 minidisk walkmans, and one car radio which
is broken
Love minidisc.
I had 3 players even before I started "collecting" this sort of stuff. I now have 35.
MZ-1 is amazing...so huge & ugly but in a good way, and to see how quickly Sony went from that down to the MZ-R55, and then MZ-E10
This is a good site to browse all the players that were available...although it may set you off on an ebay hunting mission

i'll promise you - as i've predicted not even 4 years ago, soon there'll show up the first collectors of early mp3-player - or what happened to all those nomads ???
