Subject: Re: Differences between B and B+?

I looked into connecting an IDE drive to a Beeb via
the 1MHz bus a while ago.  I've got a few schematics
for IDE->z80 and IDE->Atari.  My main problem would be
in writing the software (6502 m/c is not my strong
point), and lack of time.  I think that the PSX memory
card option sounds nice, as you can get these for
about 5 pounds now.
