FWIW, you can probably pick up a used component MD deck (eg Sony JB920,
which I have used, or similar models like the JB930, JB940...) with
digital SPDIF coaxial I/O on eBay cheaply.

NB: consumer MD decks do *not* provide phantom power; they do provide
'plug-in power' for electret mics. Generally speaking if a microphone
terminates in a stereo 1/8" miniplug it's a good indication that is
compatable with a consumer MD deck like the Sony. I trust you saw the
discussion today of portable units that would provide phantom power...
Btw I would choose the MZ-R50 or MZ-R37 over the R30. I personally prefer
Sharp decks but I own several MZ-R50s (eBay: about US$75 if you're
patient) and they are *very* robust and reliable. The MZ-R37 (eBay: about
US$50 if you're patient) have the advantage (?) of taking AA batteries
directly (useful if you're in the field for a long time away from a place
to recharge!) but the interface is not as nice as the R50.
