And that is the difference between us and ASCII. ASCII can get access to the
DESIGN of the VDP, the FMPAC and all other MSX chips used, through their
well-established contacts within the Japanese computer industry. So they do
not need to reverse engineer and guess and use trial and error to find out
how the chips have been designed...
