	Famicom Disk System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was a unit that sat underneath the Famicom and used proprietary floppy disks for data storage.
		The device was connected to the Famicom deck by plugging a modified cartridge known as the RAM Adapter into the system's cartridge port, which attached via a supplied cable to the disk drive.
		The Famicom Disk System was capable of running on six C-cell batteries or the supplied AC adapter, even though the Famicom itself was not portable.

	Nintendo Entertainment System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Famicom featured a top-loading cartridge slot, a 15-pin expansion port located on the unit’s front panel for accessories (as the controllers were hard-wired to the back of the console), and a red and white color scheme.
		Famicom MODEM was a modem that allowed connection to a Nintendo server which provided content such as jokes, news (mainly about Nintendo), game tips, weather reports for Japan and allowed a small number of programs to be downloaded.
		Famicom controllers were simple in design, though they included a number of features, such as a microphone, missing from their NES counterparts.

	Nintendo Entertainment System - Wikipedia
		A Nintendo Family Computer (Famicom) non tivo moito éxito nun primeiro momento: Durante o seu primeiro ano, foi amplamente criticada alegando que a consola era pouco fiable e moi propensa aos erros de programación e constantes colgues.
		Although most hardware clones were not produced under license by Nintendo, one exception is the Twin Famicom, produced by Sharp Corporation.
		The Twin Famicom was compatible with both Famicom cartridges and Famicom Disk System disks.

	Sharp Twin Famicom (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		It was basically a combination Famicom and Disk System in one pink-colored, 70's looking unit (Sharp also released a fl version of the system, for those looking for something more manly).
		The Twin Famicom has both a cart port on the top (60 pins) and a disk slot on the front of the console, plus a little switch to go between disk and cart mode.
		Like the Famicom, this system came with two hard-wired controllers, but it also came with a white and grey light gun complete with a little, retractable, too-small-to-be-useable gunsight.

		Famicom Disk System or FDS for short was an addon for the Famicom and was launched in 1986.
		Without piracy the Famicom Disk System could still only go so far, the disks were pretty limiting with only 64k of space on each side of the disc, swapping and switching disks can get very annoying.
		The Twin Famicom released by Sharp nearing the end of the life of the Famicom Disk System.

		At the time it was released the micro chips that were used in the game carts were expensive to produce and developers needed more room to make bigger games.

	Sharp Famicom Twin Disk System- Ultimate Console database at Hawanja.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		In the 80's when Nintendo was king of the hill a disk drive system was released for the Famicom.
		Sad thing about all this is that many of the disks now are hitting the magic 20 year mark where the data starts to fade, so the pirate cartridge versions of many disk games that weren't officially released on carts may be the only versions left in a few years.
		Anyway this is actually a licensed clone made by Sharp which combined the disk drive add on with the normal Famicom into one machine.

	Welcome to ASSEMbler
		Famicom disk games in the USA (Nintendo) were released on cart.
		It was possible to put a game on each side if the game did not use the other side for save information.
		Later, a device was made to fit between the famciom and the famicom disk drive add on (not twin, hence the twin's slot protect device) that allowed the piracy of carts to blank disks.

		The Famicom disk system, labeled HVC-022, is a box with the drive itself and a battery compartment which requires 6 type C batteries.
		The RAM adapter connects to the Famicom through the cartridge slot and to the disk drive through an attached cable to the backside of the disk system.
		It's said that one twin famicom color is harder to find, but personally I've seen 50/50 of each, so I'm not really too sure about that.

		I’ve noticed that there is a small difference on the labels of my two copies of Gyromite with Famicom adapters in them (henceforth to be called FA Gyromites) and the ones without adapters (henceforth to be called regular Gyromites).
		There’s the top board, which is the Famicom board with the ROM data on it, then there’s the 60-pin pass-through connector, and then there’s the bottom adapter board.
		The front of the Famicom cartridge should be facing opposite the front of the adapter (the side with the IC on it).

		If you have the cash and are serious about playing Famicom games on the real hardware, there’s no doubt about it: you should get an AV Famicom.
		I don’t remember them releasing a famicom shaped this way in Japan, and the controller is undranded, but odds are I’m misremembering.

	Strange nintendo floppy disk thing - AtariAge Forums
		I have about 20 disks (a couple are engrish worded as "super dick" instead of "super disk" of course) and a Sharp twin model (Famicom and disk in one unit) that the belt is stretched out so it is not working right now.
		You'll either need a real Japanese Famicom to use it, or mod the hell out of your existing NES (probably more trouble than it's worth) to even use the thing, and even then you'll likely have a hard time finding games.

		One wall is covered with just systems, including the original Famicom, the Famicom twin, Neo-Geos of all shapes and sizes, and more.
		You don't get something for nothing, though, because generally the classic games and systems are a little more expensive than you'd find from their North American counterparts.
		The Famicom is around $70, and the NES could probably be bought for around $40 in the States.

		though again, another suggestion could be to look for the Sharp Twin Famicom, which was a 2 in 1 unit that took carts and disks.
		I've picked up a few Famicom games I've wanted that didn't really have any Japanese text, placed them inside the NES cases and had some of my more artistic friend design custom labels for them.
		I actually think the original Famicom is pretty poor in design compared to what we got initially..

		The cartridges will also be pressed in a unique Famicom color-scheme that mirrors the Famicom Edition Game Boy Advance SP system, also set for release in Japan on February 14th.
		The Famicom Mini series features direct versions of the original classic Famicom games converted to Game Boy Advance cartridges, complete with a new color scheme and classic artwork.

		Converting your NES, while relatively simple, isn’t something every gamer is prepared to do, yet there are thousands of Famicom titles which were never converted to the NES.
		A possible sollution is to look to the Middle East, where the Famicom remains the height of gaming technology.
		Arabic pirate consoles are invariably Famicom compatible, and thanks to their matching TV system, work without problem on UK/Euro TV sets.

		This is an unusual event in the history of consoles and indeed the only previous instance in which Nintendo licensed its hardware to a third party manufacturer was back in 1988 with the production of the Sharp Famicom Twin.
		The relative lack of commercial success of the Sharp Famicom however, was a possible contributing factor to Nintendo’s decision to break from its agreement with Sony to produce a CD-based Snes system.
		The GCQ will also replicate the low sales of the Sharp Famicom, though this will be out of choice as Matsushita are choosing to limit productions of the console to make the Q one of the more exclusive consoles available.
