ZIP: Yes! Forget about packing, but it sure would be nice if someone
would write a -decent- ZIP unpacking program for the MSX. Say, PKZIP
2.04 compatible, and with support for unpacking directory trees
stored in ZIP's.
For this purpose:

maybe we can conclude that ZIP drives are not reliable devices. So if

I believe it is 512bytes. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Correct

Hi, Alwin.
PMA: And...using .PMA files on PC's is very difficult.
You can download PMARC/PMEXT for PC from my page
(www.adrpage.home.ml.org/msxsoft.html). The only problem is that you can't
use drives higher than E (or D, I think). Drives A, B or C works fine.

All ATA(=IDE) or ATApi devices can be connected to the Sunrise IDE

BTW is someone working on a driver/IDE rom for LS drives?
no; (I have a tech. manual about the LS120 though)

Hey, you never have mistakes
if you have one Zip-disk with 3 partitions and other with 4
partitions ? Everything is still working Ok ?
Yes, the partition changer works no matter of the partitionning state of the
disks. Howewer this program is not perfect yet, and sometimes goes wrong
(and even hangs the computer) when you use
partition (when formatting
the device) with any amount of sectors. When you change
the disk you don't
need to do nothing if the new disk has the same
partitionning layout as the
previous; else, you must only to run the partition
changer.
What if you have one Zip-disk with 3 partitions and other
When partition tabels are different then you must always
reboot! Also with Megascsi!
8-? You haven't never tested MegaSCSI, right? I can assure you that you
DON'T need to reboot when you change the disk NEVER. DOS 2 work area is
updated as well as MegaSCSI SRAM when a partition is changed, so
gouda-novaxis and vice versa. I think this is the Bert
interface. The Bert and MK should be almost the same!
[J.P. Zeedijk] They seem to be the same. I could use harddisks from MK on
Bert and vise-versa, I think ZIP disks would too. (a close vriend of mine

it is able to control it, but it requires some extra software that

Who is making it? Is it a kind of MSXCDEX for ZIP drive or is the
ROM of IDE interface
till think if is there a use for it...? Granted,
smaller files are faster to load from disk (far faster from tape!),
but they take an amazingly long time to decompress.
Just depends on the method, and POPCOM does this -reaally- fast...try
it some time!
And ZIP is *really* a free format. There
