I dont think everyone knows what the Pios One is exactly....
Let me explain a bit:
the Pios One is made by Pios (logical :-)) a lot of Pios' employees are former
Amiga/Commodore employees, they see the pios one as 'the new amiga'. The computer is
described as a modular system, as marat said you can buy only the motherboard and
design (or buy) other expansions, so you could build your own msx-board to go into the
Pios one.
The Pios One was build with a standard in mind... I can't think of the name right now
but it means that if the computer is designed according to that standard you could run
any program designed for the standard, you would only have to recompile it for the
custom chips.....
So if you take the Pios One motherboard and make an MSX add-on you could run all the
software. I know that BeOS is supposed to work on it... And BeOS is kinda like the
Amiga-Windows called Workbench. So you'd already have an 'MSX' with all the internet
programs mpeg players etc !! And if you really want to emulate the z80 100% i think
the risc processor in the board will be fats enough (250+ Mhz)
Marat: I hope I got everything right..... just correct me if I'm wrong okay!?
