Re: CD32 floppy drive to 1084S monitor

The WSI device makes some CD32 games not to boot on my CD32, it seems it
eats some RAM, so certain games like Super Stardust won't boot at all.

It's a pity. At the same time i've found the WSI won't make the CD32 a fully A1200
compatible device. Some floppy A1200 games won't work either.

This device is cetainly useful, and provides an average A1200 floppy compatibility,
but... IT SHOULD HAD A FARGING SWITCH TO TURN IT OFF.

However, is there any way to replace the RTC card into the WSI for some kind
of hand-made RAM-IDE card?

Cheers.

Wow... I hope somebody can manage to make some kind of scheme.

Some ram could be useful for these games thatjust don't boot.
But i don't know if adding an IDE interface would be too much there.
