good...

Programs of other MSX can be only for starting. After that, specific
projects can be developed. That's all I say.

IMHO, the jump hasn't been possible because is difficult to find a MSX2+.
And evolve to MSX2+ with FM and 256K implies to buy a MSX2+, in some cases
buy more memory. MSX2+ and memory are difficult to find. But one of the
goals of the MMSX project is to take profit of the PC stuff: memory,
keyboards, HD, ... And PC stuff is easy to find, and inexpensive.

There are two options. First option: build a Z380 based MSX. Second option:
Nothing. Choose.

Yes. And you? (exceptuating "Hola", "10 minutos" and "Muy Interesante", of
course ;) )

Hei! I only say that you can put a GFX9000 for demonstrating that GPX power
will not be a problem!!!

Then, we must find programmers with the spirit of Leonardo Padial X'D
Well, then the problem isn't MMSX. MMSX only open some doors. Let's use
them!

Of course. I can see this perfectly! I am not new in the computer world!
MMSX is a very hard project. It is very difficult. And, even more dificult
that the hardware will be de development of drivers and of the operating
system.
But people involved in MMSX project want to work on it, not on a MSX2+. This
is the "essence" of a hobby: do what you like. People involved on the
project DON'T want to do another thing. They are motivated for MMSX, not for
other things.
That's all.

Ok. And?

Certainly. I can see this perfectly. MSX is an old machine. (Obsolete
Machine 1, 2, 2+ and TR... ;-) ). It never will be as powerful as a
Pentium, for example. But I like MSX, and I presume that you also. Then, why
don't evolve to a MMSX? It will be difficult, but... no one says it would be
easy.
P.S.: If this becomes a "dialog" between you and me, I prefer to speak in
spanish. So, if nobody is interested on it, perhaps it will be a good idea
to write in spanish personally, not in the mailing list.
