| Well, if you want, I can find 4 u a real MSX 4 sale. It isn't easy,
|but it isn't impossible.
I realise that, but what is the difference to you, or anyone else if I use
an emulator, or if I buy another *real* MSX. It's not like Philips or Sony
are stil making these computers, so I am not letting them down or something.
If I buy a real one, I am not supporting them or anyone else..

| Ademir Carchano, in Brazil, has NEW MSX 2/2+ motherboards 4 sale.
|Although, he is finishing a new motherboard, the ACE001. U can place it
|into a PC case, connect it to a PC power source, a PC keyboard, a PC mouse,
|a VGA monitor, uses 1 and 4 Mb SIMM 30 pin memories... But it is a new MSX.
|Well, I dislike the PC peripherals, but unfortunately there isn't enough
|MSX keyboards, MSX monitors and MSX mouses 4 sale. So...
|
| Leonardo Padial, in Spain, are finishing his MMSX project, but I
|don't have enough information about the MMSX (does anyone can tell 4 us
|about the project? I would be very interested).
|
These are all very nice projects, but they are low-scale. Also remember: I
live in Holland. What am I going to do with a machine I bought in Spain or
Brazil when it breakes down ? It will be a bit hard and expensive to go
there to bring my computer in for repairs. Ofcourse: the idea is nice, but I
really would like to see if is going to work. And as you said.. They are
still busy with it. I want to use a MSX now..
| And, if my T-R will be broken in the next 10 years...
| When it'll be broken, I think about it. Maybe in 2010, 2020...
|
| Well, only one question (please only think about it, don't worry
|sending me a mail to answer): Do u prefer a MSX emulator or the real MSX?
You can say something for both of them, but you also have to give the
following credits to emulators:
- Saves a lot of space on your desk ! (Only 1 case, monitor, keyboard,
etc...
- I have over 2 gig's of MSX software stored on my PC, Just by clicking it,
I can play it. Try that on a real MSX
- Just wih a command line option, you can change memory configuration, so
you can run almost every game
- With a laptop you can even play your games in the train or something !
Kind regards,
