Will be ever the market bigger? I've designed YABUS to be able to connect the same device to different computers, what makes the market a bit bigger. > My feelings exactly.

I have had only about 35 MSX games (in 1990) and no way to get any more. :-( So I decided to buy SAM to be able to use CP/M programs from MSX. And also some from ZX, I used before. At end I made CPM22QED for SAM using MSX. > and a lot appear to be in a mode not too unlike Mode 2. But MSX has separate VRAM accessible via I/O ports. This could work with "second Z80" extention like for ZX128. The Z80 of SAM would emulate VDP, PSG, joysticks, keyboard and disk drive. > Just goes to show, you don't need an OS by Microsoft to run a > good machine. Oh... Hang on...
