Mass production makes computers cheap. The question is: will any company
make that much MSX computers?
Maybe there will a new -out of the box- MSX computer. But I don't think it
will be cheap. Because there is no market.
We have moonsound, Graphics 9000, padial's z380 etc. Are those hardware

Hey,
Let's not forget the MSX had one major advantage:
All the information on how to program the computer
was available for the users themselves...
No expensive developer kits, qn easy to use basic for beginners
and easy to learn assembly for the advanced users.
This is a major advantage the MSX

In the ADVRAM this never happens, because the dynamic rams

Think it was a bit of a promotion for the Turbo-R?? Hmmm.. then it's even

Yes, it is more old (1987). So de A1 logo is referring to Panasonic FS-A1,

I think the easiest, fastest and cheapest way for a 'new MSX' is to build a
dedicated MSX emulator for DC and/or PS2. The machines are powerful enough
for it. The other advantage is that you can build a new MSX emulator: so,
what you want in a real machine: code it in the emulator, and you'll
