If it has an actual 6502-based processor, maybe you can rig up 8-bit IDE!

You can add a PS/2 keyboard and a 1541 diskdive.
I don't know if it would be legal to do those modifications (it was made so you COULD though...)

This has plans for a good bit of stuff, inluding a simple 8-bit IDE interface for most of the major 8-bit processors, including the 6502, 808X, and Z80. I am currently trying to find out if it needs any software.

Imagine, Hard Drives for Commodores, Ataris, MegaDrive, Genesis(only thru the Z80, not the 68000), and your NES....I'd LOVE to be able to download R0Ms that way...who knows, maybe the FDS data can be transfered to a HardDisk as well with a special sub-OS to use them.

^ you think it'd be possible to make a switch to use all the addresses?
It might be possible, but I'm not quite sure.

I just copied and pasted the schematic. Try checking out their forum. There is a person there who took a Genesis and made a full-blown computer with a Hard Drive, ISA, etc. There are pics on the site.
