HI

Ideas regarding Sunrise ide:
1. Adding names to the disk partitions in the partitiontabel seeing than msx
now uses its own partitionformat (adding names at the end ? ex "Uzix",
"Dos2.2", "Games a-c", "Publisher", "Utils", "Fat 16" etc)
Modify msx programs to read the names for easy partiton selection!

2.How about using the extra space in the Sunrise flashrom to add Fdisk310
(etc)
Ex. Press f1 on start up to access "idebios" (similar to pc bios) to select
which partitions is active, format etc)

3. Adding a boot manager also in the flash rom.
Here the naming of the partitions will be very nice
ex Press f2 to select boot manager and change what to boot "Uzix", "Dos",
Dos Fat 16" etc

THanks

PS It is a great ide interface.

Yes.

The CompactFlash interface is faster than the normal IDE interface, isn't it?
I own both interfaces but still I haven't bought any CompactFlash card (256 and 512MB cards are quite expensive).
