What was preserved? The Z80 opcodes? Gfx9000? Moonsound? As I remember,
only the Z80 opcodes were present on the last MSX standard, the TR. You'll
have a TR "attached" to your new MSX? This will not make it a new MSX.
You create a new computer that runs some MSX boards, and even accept
MSX as a board, doesn't make it a MSX. I'm talking about this matter.

50% is 50% and is different when talking about LITTLE differences
and about BIG differences. If you earn 10 US$ per month and then
start to earn 15 US$ per month is a 50% change, but it's almost nothing...
You can buy an extra big mac per month.
If you earn 50000US$ per month and then start to earn 75000US$ per
month, it's a 50% change, and REALLY does a big difference. You can
buy an extra house per month!
So, talk 50% from 800% is very different to talk about 50% from 100%.
50% from 800% is 400% from 100%!
