It is clear that you don't have never investigate the Mega-SCSI programs and
procedures, nor the Mega-SCSI MSXCDEX driver. You can be sure that an
hypothethical ASCII-designed SCSI interface would not be better (nor most
error-free) than Mega-SCSI, believe me! Don't underestimate the MSX programmers.

My friend, I'm not of your opinion. Because only for continuing with the MSX
system we are already wasting our time! Why not to develop software for PC,
and to winning money then? This is not the matter.
We have now OPL4 sound cards, 4MB expansion cards, and SCSI/IDE controllers
on our old and obsolete MSX computers. The hardest part is already done! Why
not to do the following step breaking the partition size limit? Remember
that we are already following the steps of "expert" people: we must only to
copy the MS-DOS standard! And, sorry for my insistence in this point: the
drivers system used by MSXCDEX is the PERFECT way to this purpose. We only
need a "little" more of technical information.
Of course it is also good (and necessary) to make demos and games (hey, I
want Gradius Gaiden for MSX!! ;-), and don't forget the utilities! But we
are enough people for doing this and to afford such "ambitious" projects.
