Hmmm? Do you have MegaSCSI? I converted Suzuki's MegaSCSI in a
MSX-View cartridge storing the 12x12 pyxels KANJI font... :)
I know. I'm heretic... :) But with two MegaSCSI's in home I must found
a use for a unused device (Ok, Nestor you can kill me).

Patching Kanji-ROM software... May be, but is a hard job. You'll need
at least 256Kb (240Kb to be exact) free RAM to store font.

MIDI ports was officially included in MSX standard only in 1992. Just
FS A1GT machines has standard MIDI ports, but you can found a lot of
MIDI implementations in Europe, Brazil and Japan. I found two things
called "Dual MIDI" (implemented on Printer Port) and "JoySERIAL" (do
you can discover?) in a MSX-Fan. I can replicate this schems if
anybody is interested.
Suzuki (Suzuki is Ricardo Suzuki, a great friend and former owner of
my Turbo R, he left some MSX stuff with me after ExpoSALT) has a
interest MIDI Cartridge. This cartridge has MIDI-In and MIDI-Out ports
and plus 256Kb of RAM. Yes! MIDI and Memory in same cartridge. This
MIDI is Bit2 compatible and can be "talk" with Illusion City.
But I'm a draw-man not a play-man, do beeps isn't with Giovanni. :)
