Im Happy to inform that You can use max 6 bit's for output and 6 bits for
input using PSG ports 14 and 15.

I've connected PCprinterport  and MSX joystickport and it's working OK. 
(The MsxLaplink is still uncomplete.. I'll find time for that project )
The code for both machines  is TurboPascal + ML.

If You need further information, let me know.

Sincerely Kari Lammassaari

Weet een van jullie of je van de joystick ingang
ook een uitgang kan maken, zodat je dingen kan

It is possible to send data through the joysticks-port. But 
unfortunately it is very limited. There is only one pin which can be 
used for this purpose. I can't recall which one it was but I can look 
it up...

Hello Kari,

This is something I and a lot of people I know have been 
waiting for. I would be great if we could use such a device
to transfer files between the pc and msx. Like the interface I had
to transfer files between the pc and my snes. 

A lot of new applications for the MSX can then be make, like
a terminal server where the msx can be a graphical terminal client.
Or, and this is an idee that I and Jacco of Jinnovation (formerly
know as JBsoft) has been walking with for a long time: to make
a MSX multiplayer game. 

The plan was to connect two to four MSX machines to a PC through
such an interface. The pc then act as the server for the game and
calculates all the data needed for the MSX machines who are
clients of that pc. Game data like the position of the players
in a level etc. etc. The only thing you need is this interface,
the software and a few more parallel ports on the pc. 
(you can buy parallel port boards with 2 extra ports for a few
bucks)

I'm sure he'll make the pc portion of the interface software
if this project is going to continue. Jacco has knowledge
of ML, turbopascal and delphi, amoung other languages.

Let me know what you think of it,

greetings,

Sander

I've been taking a look into some old MSX Magazines (1989!), and I saw 2
FS-W1SX (MSX 2+ from Panasonic, externally very similar to Turbo-R) linked
by the 2nd joystick port of each computer, and playing F1-Spirit 3D
Special. I think that in Sean Young's homepage you can find all the steps
to prepare this cable. And there is an even older game where we can play by
link: F-16, from ASCII (1986).

Amazing!

As far as I know, it's only possible to receive data through the
joystick port. Using the PDL command, it sends a trigger puls to pin 8
of the port, your connected hardware has to send back a puls between 
10 us and 3 ms. This can be done with a 555 timer or equal.
I've made something like that about 12 years ago, but the data has 
lost :-(
