Hi,
there is an option for a new MSX without having to adhere to legacy hardware.
Look at the Castle Iyonix computer (http://www.iyonix.com).
It is a new hardware based RISC PC (XScale, PCI, USB, Gigabit ethernet, etc), which
runs RISC OS.
For old software (in this case the problem is 26bit
I need OLD technology-based but NEW machine...
That is my small conclusion.
For that, contact Ademir Carchano (I believe) and buy one of his CIEL MSX
computers. ^_^
Or get yourself another working 2nd hand MSX.
Such a thing is not feasible for ASCII to produce...

Are you sure about the universal part?

Hi Jun,
The difference with your PC?? There are a lot of differences. The 'new

The USB MSX cartridge reader is not only interesting for MSX emulators but it
is also the first step towards a new MSX. If a new MSX will be developed,
then the new MSX will not have MSX cartridge slots. But it will have a USB
port. So then the USB MSX cartridge reader can be used

I agree. I don't say that connecting slots through an USB port is a bad
idea. I just say that slots must not be optional.

Indeed, but then you get two problems. First one,
USB connector is much cheaper than a 50-pin
-like slot is the
connector size and it being serial. There can still be 2 'slots', and every
slot can be expanded aswell :). Plus that it is more standard. If a
manufacturer creates an USB device it can be used not only on the
'one-chip-msx', but also on PC, Mac, etc. if applicable. A seperate

One question:
Couldn't be the slot system emulated by a external equipment?
Something like you have a USB 2.0 and you plug on that a external Slot
Set with 4 MSX Slots?
So, if possible, who need slots may just use it.
