Is it possible to record from an ordinary audio c90/c60 cassette to a mini disc?
The audio cassette machine has 'ear', 'mic' and a 'DC IN 6V' sockets.
Or could the recorded cassette somehow be directly linked to a PC?
The PC has Pro Tools.

If your mini-disk is a mini CD, yes. You would connect the ear out to the line in of your sound card. You would need both recording software and CD burning software.

No it isn't a mini cd. It is a minidisc.

The main thing I wanna know is could the cassette recorder link to a PC or minidisc player/recorder, so that I could record from cassette to the PC?

What sort of leads are required?

If you are have the Sony style disk cartridge, it depends upon the model. I have seen a version that requires a USB cable and the proper software to write to the disk. Other versions probably need just the cable with the proper connectors.
