[ENHANCEMENT] HDD interface #19

Closed Petracus closed 1 year ago

Petracus commented 1 year ago

BeerIde is a very simple hd interface specially designed for msx1. No memory upgrade or msxdos 2 required.

It would be very interesting to be able to select between a floppy drive and this interface, which allows loading images of up to 128mb (4 partitions of 32mb).

Here is the schematic and its firmware:

With this interface you can load images like this:

The interface is simple, but emulating an SD card or hard drive on MiSTter is no longer simple. This is because all the logic is in the firmware. I have no ambition to even try this.
