Article from CES '99 mentioning the MDG-R3 Article from CES '99 mentioning the MDG-R3 (MiniDisc Wiki mirror)
"We forced Fisher to show us the ultra-secret MDG-R3, another cute little MD recorder/player that, while not as skinny as the others on this list, was small enough and boasted the aforementioned 80-second buffer memory. It'll be available at a bumpy $399.95 in June. On public display was the MDG-P3 player with only a mere 40-second buffer, available in June for $249.95."
