You can use an IDE interface and the IDE-to-CF adapter. Use an IDE cable
for 2 harddisks and connect the real harddisk to one connector and the
IDE-to-CF adapter to the other connector.
The IDE-to-CF connector works on PC as well, by the way. I have a Sharp
Zaurus PDA and I was able to mount my CF card (256MB) on my Linux desktop
without a problem. The filesystem is VFAT, so it will work in Windows as well.

Maybe if you use FAT16 on MSX, you can read the files both on MSX and on PC?
