thanks for the info !
by the way my interface is very close to beer it use 8255 and 32kb rom and 74ls139 chips, 4 pins of the 8255 are used to drive the spi interface of the mmc/sd card.
the other lines of the 8255 are used to drive other spi devices.

Hi, Leo. You can look up souce code for BEER IDE ROM, the latest release supports both FAT16 and large disks. However I use different hack for DSKIO - when sector number in DE is FFFF, the actual sector number is stored in system memory area (32 bit value). This is a bit slower but 100% compatible with DOS read/write sector calls

Had to modify FAT reading/writing, sector/cluster mapping, DPB calculation and file read-write routines (Note that while DOS1 caches one sector during file io, DOS2 has a multitude of buffers, so you have to store long sector numbers somewhere)

I wish FAT32 was as easy to implement but alas, there is no space in FCB for 32-bit cluster number, and i want to retain DOS1 compatability Hi, are you able to support fat16 on the Novaxis SCSI interface from Gouda as well since you have experience in this? Smile This interface doesn't have fat16 support right now... Crying

Most probably yes, but i know nothing about the device.
If documentation is provided, i see no big problems.

Hi Egor, maybe this documentation is useful? See chapter 6 www.msxarchive.nl/pub/msx/mirrors/msx2.com/kiwi/hardware/pdf/Gouda/Novscsi.pdf It would be great if you can enable fat16 on this one as well... :)
