Hello thanks for the reply.
I am not i firm believer in ZIP drives, because the zip drive in my Z64 fails to eject zipdisk if im not pointing the drive down.
But its great that you can use a propritary PC component like an old parallel zip drive to cut money.
Though I dont understand why hard drives are not a popular option. Its a bit sad.

A backup unit with a CD rom would be quite nice. But then problems of media longevity appear.

Hmm the best bet seems to be to mount a Micro ATX motherboard inside an old NES case and connect a TV out card in it and run ZSNES
Then I could enjoy my collection with games.. But real SNES rulez :)

Could you really fit a Micro ATX board inside of a gutted NES? n/t l33t 0n3 15:35:28 05/08/01 (2) responses
