also smaller ones are ok
you can even connect Iomega ZIP or an LS120 drive.
The LS120 drive is capable of reading/writing 720kB & 1.44MB floppies
and also 120MB floppies.
Main advantage of the LS120: faster when reading normal floppies,
ability to use 1.44MB disks on msx.
Disadvantage: it is approx 4* slower than the ZIP, it is not possible to
read copy-protected disks
CDROM can be accessed (files&audio) with some old CD utilities from
Gilvad that I've patched to be able to handle all CDROM devices. Has
someone some sourcecode of MSXCDEX for SCSI?
Are there any other IDE devices except the ones I mentioned above?
(If I have some free time -not very likely- I can try to make a driver
for a CD-(Re)writer :-) )
