This message is a reply to newbie question about SWC DX2, cd rom/harddrive posted from cv643d posted at May 08, 2001 at 06:38:46
There are other units that support CD-ROM. The SWC DX2 supports Hard Drive, CD-ROM, and Zip Drive. You have to use the SWC DX2's "Disk Dual" or another unit with a 100% compatible controller (the Disk Dual controller is made by Kingbyte).

I think the best solution is the Zip drive solution, but you have to find an older parallel zip 100. Newer ones won't work. I have a hard drive, CD-rom, and zip drive all hooked up to my DX2, and the zip drive is the most convenient (the Disk Dual weighs about 20 pounds - it's huge).

> Hello guys. Nice forum!
> I am interested in buying a backup unit for SNES. Though the unit has to suport CD rom or Harddrive through an IDE interface. The only solution seems to be the SWC DX2. Is it ?

> I have had some sellers of the DX2 but had not buyed their copiers because they didnt have the cdrom/harddrive. Now my question. What kind of parrallel port is mounted in it? can I mount any external IDE harddrive that connects to the PC parralel port.. or do I need the DX2 dual drive unit?!

> There still is a market for copiers for SNES and Geneis. If there was a backup unit with an internal IDE Harddrive i would buy it directly.
