what is a sony HiFD ?? Is it the same as a LS120 drive ???
As long as it has an IDE interface connector, it will work with the
Sunrise IDE interface. There is no new special software required.
Greetz,

btw: a ZIP drive is about as fast (200kB/s) as a harddisk (300kB/s),
but a LS120 is slow (50kB/s); but still much faster than normal floppy
(10kB/s). If you don't use floppy that much and speed is important, I
think ZIP is the best choice. But if you use lots of floppies and want
to be able to use 1.44MB disks, LS120 is the way to go. I don't know
about a 'sony hifd'
