As you surely knows there is already a Brazilian Board made in such a way,
but it is not cheap ! Moreover there was a project to build a new system
(Phoenix Project), but it seems dead :-(
The problem is
some people wants to port MSX towards PC
other people wants to make a new MSX that is a real MSX, not a PC clone.
The only hw developer of Phoenix ML was Padial, not enough to decide the
guidelines of a new MSX, the effort is too great !
Bye,
Stefano
