For 249 euro? I doubt it. Nice stuff though.

well, I am not sure why we need that expensive one. It would be much better to use Sharksym/sinfox's SD/MMC cart with SCC support.

I was thinking about this the otherday, I'd be interested to know if anyone succeed in putting one of these (ones that actually replaces the 3.5inch drives without cables hanging out), they are actually quite affordable on ebay but they are all in China. It would look good in my philips nms.

That is also a very nice disk emulator, i especially like that one with the display ;)
Also the price is a lot friendlier !
