:>Is it unuseful for your purpose (linking lotsa MSXes

:It is usefull but I tbelieve the aim is to be able connect
:more than two computers to each other and that is not
:possible with such a cable.
:I donīt know the exact pinnout of this cable but I will not
:be surprised if it is the same.
:Is there anyone from MSX club West Friesland?
I'll contact them today.
Anyway, the goal is to make it a _standard_, so that you can be sure that
you never have to buy a new cable, and that the people producing a
network-game don't have to deliver the cable itself (they can refer to it as
the JoyCom-standard or so and then you can get such a cable at your local
MSX-hardware-'provider'). Plus, indeed, that this design can connect more
than 2 MSX-computers (although the cables are still compatible!)...
