Slightly off-topic, but I've thought for a while that MD would be a good
storage medium for digital cameras. They're cheap, durable, compact;
I'd imagine one could store at least 100Mb of data.
It would require Sony to market a device like you describe (USB MD "disc
drive") and I guess that would give them the shits over allowing direct
access to the data on music MDs.
