So what? >Ask Bill Gates to make MSX-DOS 3 in his spare time :-) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORL! =:-( Bill Gate$ in MSX not! ;) Dude, if I want get a computer hanged I turn my PC. When I want fun I plug my MSX. :) >I wasted a lot of time in finding out what is the best way to get >+32Mb partitons, please don't make the same mistake! 1) Never say never again. 2) I am tired, REALLY TIRED, -in fact fed up- of reading and hearing 'this is impossible in MSX', 'that is utopical on MSX'... What happens? It seems we have the link between 'MSX' and 'imposible' engraved in most of our minds. What's the cause of thinking in this way? Too much Pentium maybe? :) Maybe Z80 is old (but reliable!), V9938 is slow and blah blah blah... However, most of times the hardware isn't the responsible of getting stuck in any problem, just the people. Luckily for us we have thingies like Sonyc, Be Bop Bout, multitask, MegaSCSI (and the older SCSIs, so meritorius in their times as this one), IDE, Goblin, Moonsound, GPX9000, No Name, Unknown Reality and some others that will appear that demonstrate that 'impossible' in MSX is frequently just a matter of mental limits (and I'm not referring to anybody!) than a technological limit. So, surely -at least for me-, the problem is mainly in our brains and knowledge than in the Z80 and other circuitry. >You can better make some nice utils or demos or games :-) He is already doing so.
