  Hi Snout!

It is there! The first new official MSX hardware, straight from Japan: the
MSX Game Reader, a USB device that allows you to play cartridge games on
MSXPLAYer

  Hehehe... MSX hardware? It's a nice hardware, but I don't think it
was made to be plugged into MSX. (^=

Ah, wouldn't be too fast to say that. The idea was that the 
one-chip-msx, and here I'm referring to that 'next-gen' thing, only has 
usb ports, and ofcourse not one of those huge cartridge slots :). The 
MSX-GR could then be used to plug in old cartridges.

It was made to put MSX rompacks in it. That simple fact already makes it 
MSX hardware.
In other words, it interfaces with MSX rompacks, therefor carries the MSX 
logo, therefor is MSX hardware.

And don't forget a USB ports for MSX are in development (by several 
parties, IIRC).

Greetz,
Patriek

My screwdriver interfaces with MSX rompacks too. Anyway, in my opinion is
the gamereader just as MSX complaint as the Panasonic turbo R computers. ;-)

I fully agree with this. It interfaces between MSX rompacks and the MSX 
Player.

Furthermore, MSX Player (and also MSX GR itself) are both products from MSX 
Association, which currently is the organisation that holds the MSX rights 
and as such can define how the MSX standard is further extended. For example 
by introducing MSX GR.


Kind regards,
Alex Wulms

How can something for which the word 'MSX' is mentioned 15 times in a 
few short messages discussing it, *not* be MSX hardware :)...
