@Grauw: maybe Guillian can make another version of the kernel so people can decide if they want it or not Wink

I just prefer a real led on the device. Smile I know it sounds stupid to have this but I really like to watch this led while waiting. At least you know that something is happening and your msx is working on the task and is not hanging ... Maybe it is possible to do it yourself ?

Using the CAPS light would be a software-only thing (and could slow down the driver a [very] little bit).

It is possible to add two leds to show when the device is reading and writing. But I have no plans about doing it.
About using the CAPS led. It is also possible, as I did in DSK mode. But it is a feature that not every one wants, as Grauw pointed. Also, it will have a small impact in read/write speed as Prodatron says.

Is it possible to do add it our self ? Or does the internal software needs to be updated for this ?

On multiroms there's a placeholder with title 'DESCRIPTION:' on ROM selection screen. What's this and how to use it? Smile

I'm still wondering if this can be used now (with some special .OPF file syntax) or it will be available in future versions? Looks nice, that is more usable than 8 letters of file name, i would love it though...

You can add it yourself with basic soldering and electronics skills.
The software does not need to be updated, since you can use the /CS or DI and DO SD card signals to check the activity.
I have not done it myself, so I can't post a tutorial.

Probably the case will be broken and the label a bit damaged.

It is not used. IIRC, the idea was to add an small description to each ROM. But it was not implemented.

@Prodatron: is it also possible to add long filename support to Nextor without external tools? Don't like the ~ characters which sometimes show up. That would be a nice feature as well for the next release Wink

If I remember correctly Konamiman doesn't plan to support long filenames in Nextor.
I don't plan it for SymbOS as well, as it would be a big mess to change the whole structure in the file system handling from 8+3 char 8bit filenames to 255 char 16bit filenames and would require too much additional memory. I could only think of additional modules for directory/file browsing with long filename display.
