MSX implementation
|
| |
How we can make a MSX computer using the Sprinter Hardware. It's Possible?
Many things will be implemented for this computer like:
New Sound Cards, Hardware implementations and others coll things, how to make a compatibility with this machine?
And with one version, MSX, MSX2, MSX2+ or TurboR?

Today Sprinter not has MSX configuration. We have an experience of creation of devices in Altera PLD. And we hope that next configuration of another computer will be useful for a lot of people.
Today we explore people opinions about the best candidate for the new Sprinter configuration.

I know I for one am already considering purchasing one of these machines, as it brings back that old hobbyist computing feeling. Having MSX support would pretty much guarantee that I would purchase one. :)

Well, I think it would be a good idea, if only because there are so many nice pieces of software for the MSX series, especially the later disk based games like the Xak and Fray series. Lots of colour, good controls, etc. Being able to run a large library of pre-existing games is a good selling point, IMO, as long as the stuff like SCC/SCC+ and FMPAC is being emulated properly, it could be very good :)

I think only MSX games will be interesting for Sprinter users which are not a MSX fans. Usage TCP/IP, probably, will be interesting too. But I hope Sprinter's applications will be more powerful in future.
Correct me, please, if I don't know anything about MSX.

Yes, and the most of features are very compatible with New Hard Disks and another peripherals. Are possible to make a USB interface and use much more effectives hardwares.
And the software are the most interesting feature. look at the UZIX ( Unix Implementation for MSX ) and discover a new world of OS for MSX. Multitasking, TCP/IP Stack, Graphic Interface, Internet Browser and many news features.
