not possible... The MSX executes buscycli in the range of a few hundred nanoseconds; the PC has to react to these signals *in real time*. With a simple interface this is not possible. And probably you can't use an OS on the pc, you will need full control in assembler of the x86 CPU to poll for the incoming MSX signals... > > 2 Parallel port woul possibly be enough to do this. In a Bi PC Parallel port is way too slow... forget it Regards, Jon -- For info, see http://www.stack.nl/~wynke/MSX/listinfo.html
