this may not be up to the quality standards you're
looking for, but have you tried playing the Hi-MD disk
on another player and recording the sound analog-style
via the line out ? this is something my students have
had to resort to when they had a similar problem.
or, another long shot approach, post a craigslist add
for someone with the kind of MD player you need. you
never know.
good luck,
