??? ISN'T IT ???
Well, then maybe we can disassemble and adapt turboR-programs. I mean, the
only non-Z380 compatible instructions are MULUW and MULUB, aren't they???
The other ones also work on a Z80 (though undocumented). I bet the Z380 has
a good counterpart for MULUW and MULUB... So that shouldn't be too
difficult. Just search for the opcode and replace it.
Maybe then I can finally play Illusion City! To play Illusion City, is MIDI
nessacary? And is the PCM device nessacary??? What other points of
incompatibility could it have???
Well, actually I think a 'new' MSX should also have a PCM sampling device,
so why not take the tuboR's sampleunit?

Yes, yes. They do that in the int-fiction newsgroup too!!!
Only one thing: A lot of people are subscribed to the newsgroup but not to
this list (I can understand that, sometimes the message-flow is a bit much
here, while you can skip them in a newsgroup. Although the subjects are way
more interesting here...). So I think we should find a solution to that...
Will a web-based forum work??? Just an idea... Although... I don't think it
will be visited really frequently, like a mailinglist, which you are forced
to pay attention to. Maybe someone should put all or the important messages
concerning Phoenix (so with [Phoenix] in the subject-line) online on the
Phoenix webpage, or something like that...

It's not about bookmarking I think. you should be able to remember it, to
tell about it to others...

I definately agree with that, although I think a web-page should be put up,
even just to introduce the people to Phoenix.
