Two different news-things, but related in their, uhm... relationship with the +3 (my first ZX).
WOS reports on a new article written by Philip Mulrane covering and FDC controller that'll turn your +2A into a +3. Go on, you know you're jealous of my 3-incher.
I wonder if this can be used in conjunction with the plus3e, a project that's just been updated. In case you didn't already know, it's a project to allow the connection of a Hard-drive to you +3. A nice idea. The latest version of the ROMs was released only a couple days ago, and you can go to the homepage to find the full list of changes in v1.04. Neatest new feature? Gotta be the loading of Z80 snapshots. Just my opinion, of coz.
The whole page has been tweaked a bit too, including much techie info, so if you plan on supporting this in any file-managers, etc... get reading.
