I see. And this new, advanced MSX, won't be compatible with old softwares,
so we need to have another msx in order to run the old apps... Now I ask you...
what's the point of this? I want a new MSX, and MMSX looks great to me, but if
i can't
run the old apps, it's not a MSX to me... In the other hand, my Ciel MSX2+
turbo
with z380 card (and this new advanced vdp if Padial put it inside) would still
be
a MSX capable of running all the old softwares and would have a new board
capable of running new 32 bits apps. That's what MSX means, I think. Backward
compatibility and new technology without breaking the standard.
