Hardly can believe this part of the interview, to be sincere. In my case (and in most of the MSX related ppl I know) cartridges were only available a long time after they were released...

Any way, to get back to the subject of Hapzee's e-mail and guessing/ assuming that he wants to know whether a Crommodore mouse can be used on MSX, AFAIK, it is not possible - at least not directly.

PC-mouse on MSX
I do not know if this issue is over yet, but for the ones who are still looking: on http://www2.biglobe.ne.jp/~tosy/w341/ are some converters. At the Tilburg fair in 1999I bought the PS2-MSX converter from these guys and, at home, I put a cordless Logitech mouse in it, and it worked without any hassle. This converter is not on the page above, but I have the technical schemes. If somebody wants it I will put it on my homepage. I have no idea if the PIC16C54XT chip (which is in the scheme) can and must be programmed. If this is the case I cannot help you, but if it is not, you can put together a magnificant converter.

Re: PC-mouse on MSX
All PIC chips must be programmed. A PIC is a CPU with a little ram and a some what bigger ROM and some have flash rom I have a good pic programmer www.propic2.com bought it for PSX mods and little projekts like this - Original Message - From: Hans Peeters To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 04, 2001 12:09 PM Subject: PC-mouse on MSX I do not know if this issue is over yet, but for the ones who are still looking: on http://www2.biglobe.ne.jp/~tosy/w341/ are some converters.

Re: 2 mapper speed question
] runs a program from internal RAM, it runs approximately 6 times as fast as ] the Z80. However, it the R800 runs the same program from external RAM, it is ] only approximately 2 times as fast as the Z80. ] ] So a 1MB or 4MB external memory mapper, will not be very useful for a turboR with ] GEM? Depends on how GEM has been written. If for example the code remains in the internal RAM while the data remains in the external RAM, you loose less performance. Most memory accesses are for fetching instructions, so the instruction fetch would still be fast. In such case, you would only get slow-downs for the data fetch. But since I do not know how GEM has been written, I can not answer this question for you.
