Hi there,
I'm new to this list, but not to MSX-es. I do have a question however:
Has anyone of you ever tried to design and build an MSX-system entirely
from scratch? I'm thinking of it, though I'm not sure about the likeliness
of success. I'm sure I'll need other people to help me with that
Thanks a lot. However, I'm afraid I won't be able to visit the fair *looks
sad*, due to other obligations. Do they have a web page?

What you say makes sense. However, does MESS run on UNIX, or is it easily
portable to that platform? If not I'll stick to fMSX for my games for a
while, and check in upon MESS every now and then.
To think of it... I actually saw a reference to MESS on a website once,
can't remember which. The
Okay, it seems that I've outsmarted myself again *lol*. You already have
the links to the applicable essays in your post. I should read more
carefully. My apologies.
Besides, I'd be happy to join the development team.
Martin.

I've laid my hands upon a philips ISA MSX card. I borrowed it from a
friend. However he no longer has the original DOS software for it. Is
there anyone who can help me with that? I'd be very grateful.
TIA,

You could write assembly routines and add them to a library. I did this
for a quickbasic program once (way back when I still programmed in DOS and
QuickBasic) and it sped up screen writes enormously.
Mail me if you need a hand.

The Z80 has 65536 I/O addresses, not 256. But just like its bigger
cousins, the x86 series from Intel, they are not directly accesible. If
I'm not mistaken you have to use the BC register to access ports above
0xff (of course you can also use it for the first 256 ports, but what use
would that
Cool... And if so, I assume it must also be possible to use all address
lines for I/O ports higher than 0xff?

If you want a big project then I've got one for you... I've been thinking
about this for years. How about creating a PC ISA card that converts the
signals for the PC to those for an MSX cartridge? Then we could play all
our games and use our MSX Music Modules etc. on the PC using nothing more
I would be interested in helping the development as well, but since I only
own 2 MSX1s, I'll have to make do with an MSX2(+) emulator. Also it's been
some time since I did any programming on the MSX.
I've only been able to run the disk image on fMSX and it works fine and
looks good.

It think it _should_ be possible. However I'd be much more interested in
an interface that allows you to connect a MSX cartridge (ROM or otherwise)
to a PC. The most likely candidate for that is a PC card (ISA/PCI) that
translates MSX signals to PC compatible signals. Unfortunately my
