Perhaps that I was confused. As far as I know, there is a Z380 project to build a new 32-bit MSX and another Z380 project to make a Z380 card to be inserted into an existing MSX. I thought that the above mentioned project was the Z380 card project. But maybe I'm mistaken. I should better

There is another problem in the time before a transfer is started. The sender must wait for the receiver to be ready. If it waits while interrupts are disabled, interrupts can be disabled for quite a while (maximum: timeout value). If it waits while interrupts are enabled, the waiting can

Very interesting. So this MSX2+ has a Z80H instead of a Z80A? No, this MSX2+ have a Z80B, and it can run on 6MHz mode, and don't on 7 MHz. Roberto Vargas Caballero Problems? contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] See also http://www.faq.msxnet.org/

UZIX can be useful to test JUMP, because it has every layer of the network already implemented. JoyNet + JUMP can replace RS232 and we'll have a running system. Maarten is right. Implementing JUMP so it's able to send and receive a byte through the network is enough for UZIX.
