Looking for MSX2 expertise

Nice project, MSX2 is a great machine. I don't have a lot of knowledge about electronic to help but there are plenty of MSX oriented websites out there (WWW.MSX.ORG for example) where you can post about your project and ask questions. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress. -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Andrew Lynch Sent: Sunday, August 04, 2013 6:32 PM To: n8vem-s100 at googlegroups.com; cctalk at classiccmp.org Subject: Looking for MSX2 expertise Hi As you may already know, at the N8VEM project we are working on an S-100 VDP. This board has a V9939 video display processor and a AY-3-8910 sound generator which should allow us to have some MSX2 compatibility when combined with a backplane, S-100 Z80 CPU board, and a memory board. There are more IO and memory features necessary for full MSX2 compatibility required though. I am considering a designing a board to provide the balance of MSX2 functions so that the combination of an S-100 backplane, S-100 Z80 CPU, and S-100 VDP. I envision such a board to be composed of SRAM memory, a couple of 8255 PPIs, a card slot plus whatever extra IO and memory we need. If anyone has detailed MSX2 experience and would like to help out on designing an S-100 MSX2 compatibility board to complement the S-100 VDP please contact me. S-100 and MSX seem like a neat combination but no one has tried it AFAIK. Thanks and have a nice day! Andrew Lynch
