Sony has released the software necessary to upload files via USB from
the new MZ-RH1 Hi-MD recorder to a Macintosh running OS X. The
software can transfer linear PCM, Hi-SP and Hi-LP files from recorder
to Mac. The software can also download MP3 and WAV files from Mac to
recorder.
The software, called Sony Hi-MD Transfer 2.0, can be downloaded here:

PC users should continue to upload and download files using Sony's
Sonic Stage 3.4 software.
I expect that this software upgrade also works with the MZ-M10,
MZ-M100 and new MZ-M200 Hi-MD recorders sold by Sony's pro audio
group. These machines shipped with a earlier version of the Hi-MD
Transfer software. I don't know if version 2.0 adds any features, or
just adds support for the MZ-RH1.
Incidentally, the folks at the Minidisc Community Forum are calling
the MZ-RH1 "the most perfectly realized Minidisc instrument to date."
Read their comments at http://www.minidisc.org/part_Sony_MZ-RH1.html
The MZ-RH1 costs about $320 from Internet merchants. The MZ-RH910
continues to be available at $165.
