Well, you can use BASIC unless you need to read the keyboard. Making for
example a simple chat program is not possible.
Also, I am not sure it will work on every MSX.
A different option is to make a protocol that always ends in the state with
the data bits 1 and the strobe 0. That's how I solved the BIOS problems in
my implementation.
