Dear MSX fans,
Please find forwarded the latest MSX print from Ikeda.
I will place it on the MSX plaza after I have moved into my new house.
Currently I'm too busy with the finishing touch (painting, etc) to spend much
time on the conversion to nice HTML.
Kind regards,
Alex Wulms

Ikeda's MSX PRINT date on 17th July
End of this month, Kazuhiko NISHI(special adviser of ASCII Corporation),
Hidekatsu YOKOI(driver of MSX Revival Project), Javi(Spanish guy,
interpriter) and Keita GOTO(member of ASCII) will visit to MicroSoft in
America(U.S.A.) to discuss with Bill Gates about MSX and MSX emulator.
MicroSoft still has copyright(25 percent) of MSX. IF ASCII Corp will get
money from the other company, ASCII must pay money(25 percent of profit)
to MicroSoft. This contract still alive, NOT dead.
And ALREADY SoftBank PAIED money 120000000Yen to ASCII. Because RuMSX
is... Sorry, I cannot write you more thing at official stage. IF you are
interst in it, you can ask it to the persons concerned of RuMSX like
Takamichi in *PERSONAL*, NOT official. Probably Takamichi know this
accident.
Hidekatsu Yokoi wants begin distribute of MSX Player for Windows. But
MicroSoft think that 1 computer is 1 OS. IF MSX Player will fine work
on Windows, computer will work 2 OS(Windows and MSX-DOS). And Bill
thinking "ALL Emulator is ILLEGAL. Because MicroSoft is NOT recognize 2
OS on 1 computer.".
Yokoi will discuss about this problem with MicroSoft and Gill at America.
I hope success of Yokoi! Probably Kazuhiko Nishi will help Yokoi.
Nishi did big success and big fail. You can visit to Japanese homepage
of mass-media.
The interview for Nishi:Success and fail

4 companies, Kyocera, SHARP, JVC and Tao Group Limited announced that
they will make OCPA(Open Contents Platform Association) at September.

http://www.zdnet.co.jp/news/bursts/0107/12/ocpa.html
This is consortium of Intent. Yokoi will make new company of MSX under
the consortium. Nishi resign vice-president of ASCII to bigin president
of this consortium. But Inamori(president of Kyocera) hate Nihsi. Now,
Nishi and Inamori are fighting about position(post) of president.
Information about 1-chip-MSX
- ----------------------------
IF we hope that MSX will really revival, we need "REASON" of rivival. Why
we need MSX?
Situation of now:Now PC is NOT expensive to Japanese. But NOT chap. PC is
still expensive to NOT Japanese people!?
- 1-chip-MSX will very very chaep price
- 1-chip-MSX will possible connect with Internet.
- 1-chip-MSX will possible RUN MSX contents
- 1-chip-MSX will possible work with Linux
Concept is very very cheap PC and market is world wide(market is NOT only
Japan and Europa).
PC is world wide computer. But underdeveloped nations are not target of
PC maker. How many money can they pay for computer? Can we sell computer?
Especially student??
>They cannot buy very very cheap computer?
When IF the village chief hope that children is go to elementary school,
Internat is useful.
For exsample, IF we will distribute computer free price use via
government...
IF it is possible, price is...
How many efficiency we need? We need efficiency like mobile-phone?
>We want efficiency more than mobile-phone.
MSX need efficiency to access database of university in the world.
