Well it is useful if you have a MSX and a PCn and want to play a game
multiplayer (using an emulator on the PC). Also, you can think of some sort
of TCP/IP-connection just like when using a Null-Modem cable.
And a MSX<>PC-connection is faster than MSX<>MSX for the PC can respond a
lot faster. An MSX<>tR-connection is faster too for the same reason.
I had the schematic for MSX<>PC JoyNet able but I lost the damn thing... Can
somebody give it to me so I can put it on the official documentation-page???
