The device you described actually already exists. It is called the
MSX card for PC, designed by PTC. Back when it was created, cpu's
were much less powerfull, so they basically had to build an entire
MSX on an ISA card to be able to use MSX hardware/software. The host
PC is only used for its
It think it _should_ be possible. However I'd be much more interested in
an interface that allows you to connect a MSX cartridge (ROM or otherwise)
to a PC. The most likely candidate for that is a PC card (ISA/PCI) that
translates MSX signals to PC compatible signals. Unfortunately my
knowledge
However, the fun part comes here: suppose one of us did indeed design
and build such an interface, the real challenge would lie in designing
the software around your favourite emulator, you know, drivers and
such.
I fail to see the point of doing that. If you want to use real
hardware like

HI
This topic was mentioned a few times with no
serious input. I think it will be possible to connect a msx slot to a pc and
emmulate a ROM cartdridge (etc.) on the pc. The msx will think it is talking to
a normal rom.
2 Parallel port woul possibly be enough to do this.
