Now you have three possibilities with one set.
Since things written for the one can't be run on the other (you'll have to
pull out and replug stuff), this is not a very practical setup. And basing a
future system on this is almost impossible, since you can't easily 'replug'
things soldered on a mainboard.
So I think it's better to use one of those three things instead of all
three. The third (last) seems the best to me. If it is combined with
Ademir's ACE002 to-be-released (resulting in some sort of ACE003LPE) you
will have a very fine new MSX, with Z380 inside. I think that's a better
goal to aim at than the current.
Advantage is that it's a way better setup, it will be compatible with as wel
old as new soft, it is also set-up for the future and there won't be two
concurring boards, which certainly won't do good to any of them, because
then half of the MSX-ers will develop soft for the one, and the other half
will develop for the other board.
Also, the 1k SRAM is not needed anymore, and no difficult soft (???) to
relay the I/O and an entire new BIOS and Basic have to be written anymore.
That is, at first. When you put the BIOS in FlashROM, it can be updated, and
after the first release the BIOS can be gradually upgraded with Z380
instructions and enhancements...

btw, I have updated Ademir's email-adress...
