It's not: if I have a game (e.g.) that uses the cassetteport for something important, it won't run on TR, so the TR is not compatible with MSX. The program is, since the cassette port is well defined in the MSX standard and may use the cassette BIOS routines (which the TR also lacks of course). > And so: a standard could evolve, the MSX-TR "standard" is an evolution of > the MSX2+ standard, that is an evolution of the MSX2 standard... Yes, but the idea of MSX standards is that they are compatible witht he previous ones. Grtjs, Manuel ((m)ICQ UIN 41947405) PS: MSX 4 EVER! (Questions?
