Haven't seen this mentioned here, heads up on an awesome project.
Getting mine soon, probably enough encouragement to sort out my STE for use- pretty much a replacement for WHDLoad if you're on an amiga system- a solve all for amiga 500 users too.
I might even do up my Mega Drive/PC system and install it in there- with a mega drive midi interface it could be the ultimate adlib/MD music machine.

oh god i could use this so much
thank you for posting
Just read that write support for amigas currently doesnt work, but firmware upgrades are always happening.
This would be sweet to see on the Famicom Disk System! Are you sure Amigas don't work? I've seen a few A600's with them. Also, tell me more about your Mega Drive PC! Your Mega Drive has a floppy connector?

this is what syphus said when i posted it on facebook
"Oh, they implemented it last week...I say implemented, but you actually need to solder another microchip to the board"
This would also be sweet with a 1541. Very useful gadget!

Wikipedia actually has a section on this pc now.

The sega/pc sections are seperate- it's also advertised to have built in adlib but i never saw this working.
I'd need an ISA soundblaster card but theyre not too hard to come by.
Floppy drive, hard drive, and clock battery need replacing- theres probably other busted bits on it.
Yeah, was discussed on IRC, they're pretty cool, there are better options out there though :

Have one for my A500 and one for Atari ST.
External doesn't save at all.
Internal (with the card) doesn't save on Amiga.
That's what I've been told.
I don't really use floppies anymore so I don't have any use for this device in my Amiga, the Spectrum might like it. Then again, I can also try to get a divIDE for it.
Oh, but my MSX might happily enjoy this. hmm....... this or that sunwhatever cart... hmmmm
TOO MUCH GEAR TO BUY FOR OLD COMPUTER SHIT
