The hardware is somewhat compatible but we are making some changes due to parts obsolescence, etc. For example replacing the parallel matrix keyboard with a PS/2 keyboard port, adding IDE, SD, and floppy controller, etc. One of the builders has demonstrated the MSX CBIOS using the N8VEM SBC and SCG (sprite color graphics and sound board). That will be the basis for the new home computer except it will be based on the Z8S180, 1MB SRAM, 512K Flash ROM, TMS9918 VDP, AY-3-8910, and various IO ports. The MSX CBIOS is in the MSX BIOS folder. If you are interested in working on a homebrew MSX computer please stop by the N8VEM project. There is a folder on the N8VEM wiki called "home computer" with the schematics and PCB layout. The prototype PCB is in trace route optimization right now and once some of the other projects clear out I am planning on a small run of prototype PCBs for initial build and test. Probably in a couple of months or so. Thanks and have happy holidays! Andrew Lynch
