No they do not. In this case MSX2+ means, this program works on
MSX2+ Computers with at least 64k RAM.

Yes, it easily can if you have an IDE version #4.1 interface because
that one has a socket for the flashrom. Flashrom types that can be used:
AM29F010 (128kB) and AM29F040 (512kB);
I just released the brmsx 2.5.
Main new features: support to 7MHz clock, ADVRAM and VDP fixes.
http://www.lsi.usp.br/~ricardo/brmsx.htm
Also finished the ADVRAM page.
This page includes detailed description of the standard,
sample programs and benchmarks.

The I/O is a bit tricky. This is what I understood from the Z380 specs, but
I'll need verification. The problem is not that the MSX I/O can't be used.
The problem is if the extended I/O range can be used. As far as I get it
now, if you output for example a v

Hello to everybody.
I will tell some things about Z380 in a fast way.
1- As I own one Z380 card, I know what I am talking about.

It doesn't really matter if SIMMs, DIMMs or EDO-RAM or whatever are being
used, as long as it remains the same from the view of the software.
Furthermore, I think the RAM which is fast enough to keep up with the Z380

THE BIOS (hardware)

It would be nice if the BIOS could be in FlashROM. That way, the BIOS can be
gradually enhanced and updated. The first release will then be earlier, and
eventual bugs etc. can be corrected later. It also opens the possibility to

Hee, sander...
Just look at the scroll we made last summer!... The updating of the sprites
(the stars which move) also uses the ld (hl),a command... hehe.. just look
for the 'IncSprite:' label somewhere in the middle of the code...
hehehe...

ld (hl),a is a valid instruction (01110111b)
so I guess its a logical error

Hi,
I have a (small) coding question, probably not so difficult. But I'm still
learning.
I have the following subroutine:
ld hl,(table) ; load table into hl
inc hl ; increase table
inc hl ; increase table
ld a,(hl) ; put value in a
