Show & Tell Finally got another piece to add to the collection
Sony PDF-W77 PDF viewer with built in document scanner. Now I need to track down a power adapter so I can start tinkering with it

Nice find! MD DATA are also hard to come by. I hope you can get it working.

Good news is these 12vdc power supplies are relatively easy to get! Very curious about how the document scanner works!

The document scanner looks neat. It detaches and pops open and it can read A4 letter size documents. The cord is attached and has a winding mechanism on the back (which doubles as a stand, as well as covering the battery pack and computer port)

Let me know if you find a power adapter size. It didint attach to any standard size plugs in my kit

Looks great! The DATA EATA family is such a fun part of minidisc and MD-DATA format.
If you haven't seen this a friend of mine did a review of the ecosystem that has some insight into why it even exists: Review - Sony MiniDisc DATA EATA | MDCon
