Hello All, I'm having a little problem with my NMS 8250 computer. It will not read any floppy disks, the computer puts "disk offline"on the screen eventhough te drive-light flashed once (strange hm?). So I started to do some investigating (removing cover to see if any connectors came lose etc.

NLMSX v0.25 released

Let's just stop the discussion about the 'fantastic features' of this chip, because it may be fast but it is totally incompatible with MSX and therefor can not be used. For the same reason, the Z382 (although running at a 2 MHz faster than the Z380) can not be used either. Because it uses some of
