Hei! I'm not at all related to this project. I don't have any kind of
information, only that some kind of prototype will be in Barcelona. I am not
saying if it is a good or a bad idea.

:-) Yes, it will be a problem this. But, if it is fully compatible to other
MSX...
Well, I prefer not saying nothing because I don't know anything about the
project.

If it is a modular system, the graphic system will be a module. Then, you
can put GFX9000 and have great graphics.

Even in the case that it is a very hard project, we must not be pesimistic.
If we say one and other time, everywhere, that the project will not be
finished, that it is impossible it works, ... then, developers will stop.
Yes, it is a hard project, but everybody says that it never will be
finished... This DOESN'T help the project at all. Be optimistic!!

Yes, it is a good idea. But you must think that MSX developers aren't
professionals, they work for hobby. Then, they will program/build what they
like to do. If a developer want to program some driver for the Z380 (for
example), you can't say him to program a game for R800. Why? Because he
WANTS to make a concrete thing.
That is, if I want to make (for example) a WP for a Z380-based MSX, and Z380
will not be build, then I will not change my project for another. Simply, I
will leave the project.

En resumen (que mi ingl�s es horrible):
Parece que est� de moda criticar los nuevos proyectos para MSX. Tal vez no
se lleguen a realizar, pero andar bajando los �nimos con comentarios
pesimistas no ayuda para nada al sistema. �Que tal vez no se termine? Puede
ser, pero como m�nimo vamos a apoyarlos.
Por otra parte, pienso (y es una opini�n) que la gente que "pierde" el
tiempo con el Z380 no lo perder�a con otra cosa. Es decir, no es que, en
caso de no trabajar en dicho proyecto se dedicara a hacer cosas m�s
"�tiles", sino que, probablemente (es mi punto de vista) no har�a nada
constructivo relacionado con el MSX.
