The only hard disk interface that support MSX-DOS 1 is the original V1.0 HSH SCSI interface. I have once tested this interface to be working on a MSX-1 Toshiba HX10 with an external floppy disk drive Sony HBD50. Nice experiment, not a very usefull combination btw, no subdirs and a limit on the amount of files on the root of the hd.
All the other HD inetrfaces require MSX-DOS2 and the better ones have DOS2.xx builtin e.g. Sunrise IDE). Since MSX-DOS 2 requires a memory mapper, and memory mappers are not common on MSX-1 machines :) no go at all. So if you want a hard disk: get a MSX-2 such as the 8245 or 8250 philips or a Sony like the 700. Dirt cheap in the netherlands. And IDE interface with RS232 from Sunrise: three cartridges in one: ide, dos2.20, rs232, that gives you a free slot. > > Van: Richard Kilpatrick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Datum: 2001/12/03 ma PM 01:32:16 GMT+01:00 > Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Onderwerp: CX7M > > > Richard (MSX2 supports hard disks, it seems, whereas MSX1s don't seem to > be supported by the many interfaces I've seen). -- For info, see http://www.stack.nl/~wynke/MSX/listinfo.html
