I am following this with great interest. I was ill, so I couldn't come to
the fair in Tilburg. I have an old IDE interface that I could not get to
work. So that Diamond Logic Interface, who made it? What does it cost? How
can I order it? Does it have DOS2 build in? Should I have DOS2 build in if I
use it on Turbo R?

As all harddisk-interfaces, only under Dos 2.

Since Dos 2 is required the minimal MSX system requirement is MSX2.
> 2 - What types of IDE Hard Disks can be used ?
All.
> 3 - And about HD size and partitions ?
At the moment (with FAT12) the partition size is 32 MB (as on all
interfaces), and the max. number of partitions is 32. So a total of 1 GB can
be used. That's way enough for MSX. I've got 540 MB and I am only using
about 30% of it. And if you want to be able to use more, FAT16 is in
development.
It is really one of the fastest (and also the cheapest) interfaces.
Do not use disk-cache, because it only slows your harddisk down!!!
I am VERY pleased with it.
