So far, my role in exchanging info about ESE PLD in the public has always been rather passive. Just forwarding Ikeda's MSX print. But as you may understand from my other mail, I'm closer involved with the project then just that. Though, as with any other hobby projects, I do not want to promise too much directly into the public. To prevent the whole vaporware feeling if things take more time then originally anticipated. But if people want to join the ESE PLD project or have more info, they can always contact me or Tjujikawa directly in stead of via the mailing list. Note that Tjujikawa can write and read English.

As far as I know, the ESE FPGA/PLD project is entirely independent of MSX Association. Though, I can imagine that at some moment in time, MSX Association may want to take a license on the design... Though, I can also imagine that MSX Association will totally ignore ESE PLD project and simply contact Yamaha, Toshiba and other former MSX chip manufactorers to put all their old chip designs together into a new MSX chip.

To build a new MSX in hardware without being dependent on big corporates. After all, eventually all our MSX'es will wear out and fall apart :-( Kind regards, Alex Wulms _______________________________________________ MSX mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Info page: http://lists.stack.nl/mailman/listinfo/msx
