The '''DivIDE''' is an interface for connecting IDE mass storage devices to the ZX Spectrum. It has gained wide popularity amongst Spectrum users in the UK and Western/Central Europe, as a way to transfer and run emulator files seamlessly on the real hardware. CompactFlash cards are commonly used as the storage medium, as these are pin-for-pin compatible with the IDE standard, and IDE-to-CompactFlash reduction boards are readily available. (The newer DivIDE variants have a CompactFlash connector on board.) IDE-to-SD-card boards also exist, and will doubtless become more commonplace in future as CompactFlash becomes obsolete! | The '''DivIDE''' is an interface for connecting IDE mass storage devices to the ZX Spectrum.
