Re: Svi738 to msx2
Hi, The pcb contrary to the schematics does not have open spaces for IC 23 and IC24. You can either desolder or piggyback them. Question 1:Will an extra 0.1 uF condensators be neccesary if the chip below already has one?. No, it's not neccesary. 0.1 uF will do the job. Question 2:On the extra ram chips (piggybacked ones) the pin to be connected to the CAS1 signal is pin 16 right? Yes, IC23 and IC24 are connected to CAS1 with pin 16. Question 3:Which pin on the vdp (9938-msx2) is CAS1 ? Take a look at the schematics and you will see that the VDP pin 60 is CAS1.

Re: V9958 and FM again....
Manuel Bilderbeek wrote: Some time ago, someone (I don't remember his name) was asking for people wanting to buy v9958 and FM. Well, I want one fm and a v9958 too, and there's a lot of brazilian people that wants it too. Ademir will for sure want at least 20 of them to use in his new MSX motherboards (ACE002). There was someone here making a list, can you tell me who he is? Hah, that was Sander Zuidema. Mail him at [EMAIL PROTECTED] The V9958 should be no problem then, but the YM2413 will be, unless you order 100 of them. The point is that he has to order at least 100 pieces of each and no-one else was interested in the YM2413. Also note that you have to pay in advance to Sander, so that he will not run any risks. Ok, thanks Manuel. But why there is nobody interested in FM? You can find FM easily in Europe? []'s Mauricio Braga. "Computadores fazem arte Artistas fazem dinheiro... " Chico Science.

Svi738 to msx2
Hi Thanks for all the help so far. I fitted the new vram 128k and everything seems to be OK. But how can I test the video ram to see if all are working? Testram still only detects 16k vram (maybe the program assumes this because it detects msx1 roms?) I wil replace my roms in a week or two, maybe three.. By the way I ran Blade lords and the sunny intro from sunrise showed beautifully, but nothing further.

MSX article in ASCII
Hi there, For anyone who can read Japanese, please look at the following pictures and translate the text for me/us! :) http://www4.freeweb.ne.jp/diary/iakira/toukou/niikou/DSCF0089.JPG http://www4.freeweb.ne.jp/diary/iakira/toukou/niikou/DSCF0090.JPG The second is a probably readable close up of the most interesting part. Please mail me the translation! Again: this is page 58 of ASCII Vol. 9, September 2000. Best regards, Manuel --- Pre-PS: After 30/9/2000, I cannot use this address anymore.

Re: MSX article in ASCII
Hi Again, Found something via CastService (www.castservice.com) which is mentioned in that article. I searched for MSX and found this: http://www.castservice.com/profile.asp?no=2118table=tbl_vod_programmain=vo d However, I cannot replay Real Media here. So, please take a look at it! In the meantime I also got a translation of the first three paragraphs of that article. The rest could not be understood by my Japanese collegue. It is an interview with a Korean guy called Kim (of course), first name Namfun (or something) The first column says: Q - When did you start using a computer? A - When I was in elementary school. I started using an MSX. Even now I use a Sony or Matsushita MSX. Q - What pcs were used in Korea, before the IBM PC? A - Almost all pcs were Apple II or MSX. When I was in elementary school, I used to read MSX Magazine. That magazine was sold in Seoul in secret. To buy it I had to take the highway bus and the subway. It took me three hours. Q - Recently there was an MSX event in Japan. MSX is in a revivalboom. What do you think? A - In Korea there was also an MSX meeting, so we communicate with Japanese users. Every 2 years we have an event in Korea. (MB: now the subject turns, which I do not follow!) But in Korea, ROms were very expensive. We loaded them from tape or Megarompacks (MB: whatever that might be! Some sort of MegaRAM?). That took 30 or 40 minutes. I had to wait and sit in front of my pc. (MB: thus, his MSX) And sometimes it failed to load. At the time Yun MB: whoever that is?) was working on MSX at Daewoo and now he is the 2nd president of CastService. I also work at that company. There it ends. The rest I hope to get from other people... The link above I found from the www.castservice.com site. Indeed a Korean site. They seem to cooperate with AkibaTV, which was also present on MSX Den-Yu Land 2000. Help! Best regards, Manuel --- Pre-PS: After 30/9/2000, I cannot use this address anymore.
