Of course. Who has forgotten the amateur groups?
I think that if ASCII haven�t seen the work of amateur groups they never would
thought in the possibility of release a new MSX.

Yes! ASCII is a company!!!!!! You didn�t know it?

No. One emulator for me is enough... If new MSX finally doesn�t appear we all
will
be very happy with this new emulator...

I have no memory problems. And it�s said that new MSX will be backward
compatible.
So Msound, GFX9000, Mscsi, bla bla bla, bla bla bla, will work fine in this new
machine.

Amateur groups maybe could be professional groups (SW and HW developers).
Haven�t you thought this?

Yes. We all will stop making MSX meetings ...

Yes, you can also have made this question in 1985, 1988 and 1990.

I don�t think so.
