Which MSX2 did you use? I use a NMS8250 and a Quantum 540mb hd. It works fine, but other HD's don't work. CDROM also never worked. I would be very happy with a GOOD bios update that can work with older HD's too... Who wants a 540mb or bigger HD in his MSX?????? I don't... I saw a bios update that should make this possible for TurboR, but I don't have such a dream machine :-) Stephan --> Stephan Szarafinski, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <-- Linkwerk BV internet content provider, www.linkwerk.nl **** MSX Mailinglist.
