Hi, Hantonio: NS I suggest MegaSCSI even if you have DOS2. It works REALLY FINE, it is NS fast, and BIOS allows you to emulate floppies without any problem. Hmmm. I can't emulate some games (Illusion City, Fray, etc.) using Diego's MegaSCSI on my Turbo-R. Salidos, digo ... Saludos. JAMon

HO Yes, you can use IDE disks on MSX with the Sunrise IDE interface. HO (http://www.msx.ch). HO Note that the disk should not be too old. Disks above 512Mb are ok. With the new BIOS you can use old hard disks too :) Salidos, digo ... Saludos. JAMon ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) *MSX Dreams* Apdo.
