What SCSI interfaces exist for MSX?

0

(thanks to Hans Oranje, Hans Otten and Gert de Boom) As soon as MSX DOS 2 was released, it became interesting to connect hard disks to MSX, since the possibility of using sub directories enabled the users to make use of larger disks. (MSX-DOS 1 does not support sub directories, which means only a total of 115 files can be put on a partition!) In the Netherlands, the first SCSI interface available was the one produced by HSH, a German company. They also provided the SCSI harddisks (up to 40MB, if I recall correctly) in a nice external case. It came with the ASCII MSX-DOS2 cartridge (which seems to have been pirated by them, afterwards…). The price was huge: about 2000 euros for this 40MB set.
