The Rookie drive 720 was a prototype

Okay that clears up @sd_snatcher’s question.

Hi S0urceror!
I'm very interested on añy project related to USB in MSX
I follow your project and as I own a Rookie Drive I would like to give it a try, so I decided to flash your con in my Rookie Drive. Unfortunately every time I flash either nextorrd.rom or rookie complete rom I downloaded from your GitHub I get
this error msg

Am I doing somethin wrong , any idea of what the problem is?
Just tell you that, after the problem I reflash with Rookie Drive firmware without any incident.
Thanks!

@tingis53
you should use the RKFL.COM - RookieDrive native tool to flash rom to the RD - because RD uses ASCII mapper while MSXUSB uses Konami mapper

Interesting point
Other mapper drives to problems
Many thanks @Pencioner I'll try that way

Yes Pencioner is correct. On the RookieDrive you use it’s own flash tool RKFL.com. On the MSXUSB cartridge that has a different mapper you use FLASH.com.

@syn it might be incompatible by other means. is the same chip being used by Tecnobytes? Arduino + ch376 i mean...

That’s really cool that it works with RookieDrive NX! And I just read in a post on Xavirompe’s Twitter that XSWifi also gets USB support. I was already looking forward to it for the wi-fi, now I’m even more excited!

Hi SOurceror !
I've build one MSX USB using an old epm240 board.
All seem to work well but I can't use Nextor.
The device only want to boot MSXDOS1.
Maybe I don't use good bios or good files.
Your NEXTOR720.DSK doesn't work, always reboot and link for bigger images is dead.
Could you help me ?
Manu thanks for this great piece if hardware
