If so, this part is finished and we can let our thoughts flow over a

Connectors:
MSX (DB9 /f)

SEND (DIN5 /m)
RECV (DIN5 /f)
The pin-layout of each connector:

As far as I know there still isn't a program for
the MSX with which you can (like RAR or ARJ) devide large files into smaller
pieces (to reassemble later) which can, for instance, fit on a disk. Compression
is not even nessacary, just the deviding...

Well, I am writing a protocol for 2-computer communication at this moment,
as soon as it is ready, I'll let you all know...
I've put all the info at this moment on my homepage, which is just updated,
