[Coco] [OT] Videos: 1999 Brazilian MSX community meeting

[Juan Castro]

Yes, it's a CF-card-to-IDE adapter. I tried to use a SD-card-to-IDE
one, but the I/F is somewhat fickle in compatibility with those, so I
settled with CFs, which are Good Enough For Me(TM).

So that I/F you are using is an MSX to IDE I take it, and it looks like you have another adapter attached to it.   Cant tell from pic what it is/does.  But anyway thanks for the info!

>> i will have to try to check those out.  unfortunately i don't have a high-speed I/F here.  maxes out at about 256k/sec.  And i am afraid i don't remember much of my portuguese.  it has been WAY too long since i visited there.....  But anyway, i will take a look at them.  so i gather you are IN Brazil?  Well, here is a question, do you know anyone who has a working disk interface for the MSX they might want to part with?  i have a dual drive but my I/F is toast, it only causes repeated resets to the computer, and no boot action at all.
