16.0. "64DD" by SALEM::PIZZANO () Tue Mar 18 1997 16:30

    I keep hearing about the 64DD. And that some of the games are going to
    need this. Does anyone know what this is about ???

I think it's a hard drive add-on.  I think it's fairly small too... like
64 Megabytes or something.

    		Actually its somewhere between a floppy/cd rom.  Its
    	a magnetic disk storage medium.  Larger than a 3.5" floppy
    	with a faster read/write access.  It will plug into the bottom
    	of the base unit.  Due to it being writable future games could be
    	customized to the user making endless possibilities to say 
    	configure a character.  Not due out in Japan until Q4 97,  don't
    	expect to see it in the US until Q2 98.  Its supposed to give
    	added flexibility to cartridge games by making it writable.
    	Also the added memory space as mentioned in -1.  Price rumours
    	are $200.  Other uses include add on levels to exhisting games,
    	new games themselves, and new games in conjunction with the disk
    	drive.
