Hello people, Here is the (new) MSX PRINT of Ikeda. > >Ikeda's MSX PRINT 2/July > >ASCII Corp come back to MSX world! Already ASCII paied many money to us( >PERHAPS 500000Yen). This money is to make MSX DEN-YU LAND. So, ASCII is >sponsor of MSX DEN-YU LAND. And MANY member of ASCII will visit MSX >DEN-YU LAND and MSX WORLD EXPO'99 to cheak MSX scene. Now, some member >of ASCII interest in our MSX situation. > >Last night, I recived a telephone from Hidekatsu Yokoi of Frontline. And >I got many news of NEW MSX. > >RRR! RRR!! Telephone is calling!!! >Ikeda:I'm Ikeda. >Yokoi:Konbanwa. >Ikeda:Konbamwa. >Yokoi:Thancks for some Japanese messages from Giovanni Nunes, Manuel > Bilderbeek and Raymond you sent me. Becuase I can NOT understand > English. Thancks for your translate action. >Ikeda:You're welcome. >Yokoi:I agree propose of Raymond. I'll show Sonyc to Member of ASCII > include Kazuhiko Nishi and Ryouzou Yamashita date on 4/July. I > have n.1 Sonyc. Because some times ago, we Frontline WAS > Distribute Sonyc of Analogy. I want show cool MSX stuff of > Moonsound and GRAFIX9000 to Nishi. Because Nishi wants look it... >Ikeda:A Dutch MSXer who Anne de Raad sent me something MSX stuff for > Moonsound. I do NOT De-compress(Un-pack) it yet. I do NOT know > that it's cool or not. I can send it to you if you have interest. >Yokoi:Greate! Please send me it! I have NOT Moonsound. But Kazuhiro > Tsujikawa has Moonsound and GFX9000. Tsujikawa can show it to > Nishi on 4/July. And please send my greets to Anne. >Ikeda:Ok. But I think that you can show photo of MSX Fair at Holland, > Spain and Brazil. I think that IF ASCII look photo of MSX Fair, > ASCII will surprise... >Yokoi:Already I showed Hnostar magazine to Nishi and Yamashita. Because > hnostar is the most greate MSX Magazine I think. Nishi enjoied > hnostar. But Yamashita is NOT tell me something... But Yamashita > enjoied hnostar magazine I think. But hnostar magazine that I have > is OLD issue only. I have NOT new issue... >Ikeda:No problem I think. >Yokoi:I recived a E-mail from Tsujikawa of ESE Artists' Factry. Because > Tsujikawa recived a E-mail from Manuel Pazos of Analogy about NEW > MSX. Tsujikawa wrote me that "We must secret about NEW MSX Project > .". But I think that Ikeda can write more news about NEW MSX > Project. >Ikeda:Ok! Thancks!! Perhaps many MSXer will glad for your news. Let's > tell me more news!!! >Yokoi:Yes. Now, we're talkking about NEW MSX Project with ASCII and > Nishi. Inside ASCII Corp has n.2 groups. 1 group is pro-MSX Group. > The Member of Group is "LOVE MSX" like us. But the other group is > NOT pro-MSX Group(NOT interest in MSX). >Ikeda:Why, the other group is NOT interest in MSX? >Yokoi:Yes. ASCII can EASILLY make NEW MSX. But many people do NOT buy MSX > they think. IF many people do NOT buy MSX, ASCII will RED. ASCII do > NOT like RED. Because they are campany. ASCII is NOT amature group > like us. >Ikeda:Yes, you're right. >Yokoi:But IF we'll sccess MSX DEN-YU LAND and MSX WORLD EXPO'99, ASCII > will make NEW MSX we think. Member of ASCII and Nishi will visit > these MSX Fair to look MANY MSXer. We must success these MSX Fair! >Ikeda:GREATE! These MSX Fair is our HOLY WAR!! >Yokoi:Now, Nishi wants make 10000Yen MSX. This MSX is MSX2+. >Ikeda:Ops! Why Nishi wants meke OLD MSX2+? I can NOT understand! >Yokoi:No, this is NOT NORMALLY MSX2+. This MSX2+ is build in High speed > clock Z80 CPU. For exsample, 100Mhz! >Ikeda:100Mhz Z80? Really? >Yokoi:Yes, ASCII can make these High speed Z80 CPU. >Ikeda:Why ASCII do NOT re-make R800 CPU? >Yokoi:Old time ago, R800 WAS big success. ASCII got some money from > Zilog. Because Zilog made R800 CPU under license of ASCII. >Ikeda:Yes, of couse I know. Because I'm MSXer. >Yokoi:Now, ASCII wants make NEW CPU Compatible with Z80. >Ikeda:Why? >Yokoi:IF ASCII will re-make R800 CPU, perhaps Japanese Electronics > MAKER do NOT build in their Prodacts. Now, ASCII wants sell NEW > CPU. Here in Japan, many Japanese Electronics maker useing SH CPU. > Do you know? >Ikeda:Yes, SH series is manufactured by HITACHI. This CPU series is > popular... >Yokoi:Yes. ASCII must fight with HITACHI SH CPU use by NEW Z80 Compatible > CPU! >Ikeda:Oh! Now, I understand project of ASCII! >Yokoi:I don't know price of NEW MSX. 40000Yen? 50000Yen?? 90000Yen??? > 100000Yen???? I do NOT know... In future, we WILL discuss about > price. >Ikeda:I hope NEW MSX is separate-type(Computer + Keyboard) like IBM PC/AT > Clone and Machintosh. >Yokoi:Yes, I agree. Here in Tokyo, many MSXer hope separate MSX. But > Nishi like ALL-IN-ONE type like Amiga1200 and FS-A1ST/GT etc... > And he wants build in MSX VIEW inside NEW MSX. >Ikeda:Ops! Why MSX VIEW? We need NOT MSX VIEW! >Yokoi:Yes, I agree. But Nishi likes GUI. Nishi NEVER cut off GUI Software > from MSX... >Ikeda:I think that IF ASCII will make Mother board of MSX like Ademir, > ASCII can price dawn of NEW MSX. >Yokoi:Yes, you're right. It's one way of them. And we think USB > support... But I don't know that MSX can build in USB or NOT. >Ikeda:Why, don't use Intel486? This CPU is cheap NOW. And we can Software > Emulate of Z80 CPU... >Yokoi:Yes. ASCII told me that Hardware emulate is EASY. But Software > EMULATE is NOT EASY. ASCII can NOT Software emulate of Z80... > Because IF ASCII will make Software Emulate of Z80 (on i486), > ASCII need use many many time to cleate. But ASCII can MAKE EASY > NEW Z80 Compatible CPU. ASCII has technology to make new CPU. >Yokoi:NEW MSX will build in many VRAM area. Because IF MSX build in many > VRAM area, NEW MSX can play animation on VRAM Memory. >Ikeda:Oh! Good idea. >Yokoi:And, ASCII will build in 4MB or 1MB RAM. The most cheap way is 8MB > RAM more than 4MB and 1MB. But NEW CPU maximum memory access is > 4MB only. But 4MB RAM and 8MB RAM is slowly memory access speed > more than 1MB RAM... Hummm... >Yokoi:PERHAPS, Nishi will tell official message of this NEW MSX at MSX > DEN-YU LAND, I THINK... >Yokoi:This NEW MSX Project is PLAN only NOW. But we're begin start NEW > MSX Project. I do NOT know that ASCII will SELL or NOT NEW MSX. > But we must ready begin make NEW MSX. >Ikeda:I sent a Japanese message written by Leonard Silva de Oliveira. > What do you think his new OPL3 Music module? >Yokoi:Hummm.... Now, we are makeing +PCM. I can NOT think another > Hardware... Sorry... But new Hardware is good thing, I think. > IF Leonard Oliveira wants show his NEW Music module, he can show > it at MSX WORLD EXPO'99. MSX WORLD EXPO has Brazilian stand... >Yokoi:This time, I can tell you about Japanese MSX-DOS2. Now, we can't > Distribute MSX-DOS2. Because MSX-DOS2 is copyright by ASCII. Now, > we hope that ASCII will drop license of MSX-DOS2. IF ASCII drops > license of MSX-DOS2, we can install MSX-DOS2 inside Program disk. > Now, we're discuss about this Problem. >Ikeda:ASCII will drop Copyright of MSX-DOS2? >Yokoi:Hummm... Now, we're fighting... But, now time a Game maker paied > MSX license money to ASCII. Do you know? >Ikeda:I do NOT know. >Yokoi:Now time, Konami paing some money to ASCII. Because Konami is > selling MSX Games for PlayStation... >IKeda:Oh! Yes. ASCII recived money from Konami. But ASCII do NOT recive > money from Amature group... This is inconsistent... >Yokoi:Yes, But... Nishi told me that ASCII do NOT mind IF Amature groups > install MSX-DOS2 inside MSX stuff. >Ikeda:Oh! Good!! We can install MSX-DOS2 inside our prodacts!!! >Story is more long... But I can't write more news... Sorry... ALL story >is NON FICTION. But you can NOT belive this news... Many Japanese MSXer >do NOT know this story. Because this news is secret news. Only some >Japanese MSXer know this news...
