Re: TI-H: NEW expander design




The playstation memory card was mentioned a while ago, and I always
thought that ut was a good idea, just because of cost, and
availibility...  So make your expander, I say, but don't limit it only to
the 82...
And if possible, it would be great if it was made as a drive, so you
could swap memory cards...
