It would be nice, but even Ademir, owner of an "import/export company"
has not this kind of power... (or he has? :-)))))

If I'm not wrong, I think I've heard something like 16Mb... But at this
time it'll make no difference.

I always talk to Ademir, so, ASAP he will be inside all these facts.

If the target is the same, both can work on develop the standard and
them implement it. It the target is different, then it's hard to
join forces. P.e.: Ademir is not even thinking on adding VGA default
output on ACE002. You will be able to add this doing a VGA cartridge
for ACE002, but the internal will be the standard MSX video. When
we was talking on Phoenix list, this appeared to be an idea that
Padial had. But I don't know... (-: Ademir is against "big changes"
on the MSX standard...
