Besides the GFX9000 it is really cheaper.
And as Peter Burkhard said: IDE interface is only 100 NLG!

As said, you can emulate them with diskimages, using START.COM or FDDEMU.

As said again: this is not necessary: the CM 8833 (Philips) is already a CGA
monitor which also has RGB inputs (SCART!). Works great. And then again: ever
seen a >13" CGA monitor?

no, I'm sure BrMSX has still some bugs, especially on MSX2 emulation. (BTW:
great job, RIcardo!)

Fine. BUt you knoiw the restrictions of BrMSX and then again: you first need a
PC as fast as that.

A perfect emulator can run all software I can run on my own MSX computers.
Period.

That's no excuse and you know it! :-P (Use your car!)

Hehehehe, you sure do! BUssum? (If Laurens allows that...)
