Yeh! I don't have any problem because I have a fantabulous Turbo-R since 1991,
but I agree with you: every people can get a DOS2 or IDE interface actually
very easily!
An IDE cartridge costs less that a original Konami cartridge costed ten years
ago!

Memory is cheap nowaday. So, let's 'force' users to buy almost 1Mega ampliation
:)

Hmmm. Does it refer to use of memory mapper? I'd like to test a DOS2 cartridge
in a MSX1 machine with a memory mapper installed on it.
