Cool external FD by Nintendo

Now you've went and found something out of the ordinary. Well, from an American standpoint, anyway. The FDD you describe is an external 3" (*not* 3.5") drive that plugged into the main unit, this would prove to be the item that kept the Famicom alive until cartridge production prices dropped to acceptable consumer levels (at its release, game carts. were 4,500+Y, new!) . The FDD uses 3" disks, similar to the ones that were popular (for a time) in the European computer market in the early 80's. I'm not sure if you can use this with an American NES, but I don't ever remember seeing a connector on the NES other than for controllers, cartridges & video out. By the way, it was meant to run off batteries, so you could do well without the AC adaptor.
