It is just :-) 7.12MHz, with regular 320KB memory.

Now working on Prodatron machines, he want a 4/6/7.12/10MHz, with Saint's 1MB expansion :-)
Wow, even with 7,12MHz it felt unbelieveable fast: It could even play the videos in 2 colour mode (640x200) at nearly full speed (11fps instead of 12), while it was converting all frames from 4 to 2 colours in realtime!

I am looking forward to my tuned up EPs a lot!! :P :P

Now I have a MSX with a mouse.

Then I will build a modified Boxsoft converter for the MSX mouse, for a quick solution. I think Prodatron and Edoz already have a MSX mouse :-) You are interested in this solution?

Congratulation, beside the TurboR the NMS8280 is the best MSX I think! :) And soon you will have it running at 7Mhz, too :P

I am very interested in a Boxsoft mouse converter! That would be fantastic!

Nice machine....

At the end I bought that black Mitsubishi MSX mouse but the Spanish Post has lost it at the delivery.... I'm still waiting. I want to compare it with the Neos mouse. They have two jumpers inside and I want to know what they do.

No thanks. I can build another Boxsoft interface for my spare EP... Not in a hurry...I'm only curious about connectivity...

Still poking NYYRIKKI's Arduino adapter.

I asked Edoz and Prodatron, for a quick solution until a new modern solution finished.

Ah, ok.:oops: 

But I still don't know if only changing the pins will do the trick... just that was the test I wanted to do. I'm late because of not receiving that MSX mouse.

Now, can you adapt and test the Neos on your wonderful MSX equipment to remove my doubts, please?

Dear Mr. Edoz,

 Can you please write more about the topic "what is your lately developed program part"?
 We are interesting every details, and if you would be so kind, to take the keyboard, and make a summary, than we would be very grateful.
 Some Hungarian forum member makes here a "record" at times, mostly during the developement, thus others can take part of the developement itself, and it makes us happier, and is good for our souls. With other words, most of us curious for new stuffs.
 So if you able to share some thoughts, please do it!
Thank you!

Ok .. sorry ..  ;)

There are some Unify projects i work on:

- explore.exe file manager. Currently I'm busy to do selection and de-selection of files. Almost all visuals are in. But the file handling itself needs to be done still.
  But it is already possible to start programs.
- Sega columns game. The design of the blocks are done and they move down and i can move the blocks in the field. Next step is to detect rows of blocks.
  So this game is already almost done but the difficult part (removing the blocks) is still on my list :D
- testing work for Unify. Unify is developed by Trebmint and i test new functionality for him. Unify is still in beta but Trebmint did a lot already!
   It would be cool when Unify is ready for the public so everyone can create applications for SymbOS. It is a very nice Project!!!
- testing work for SymbOS 3.0. I test new functionality which is developed by Prodatron. (Advanced desktop etc.)
- Making documentation. Currently i work on a User/Installation manual for SymbOS 3.0 so we have some helpful documentation.

Have fun with the Z80!

Hi guys, sorry for beeing silent for such a long time!
Currently there is multiple WIP stuff in SymbOS:
- new extended desktop; this allows a more Win98 like handling of the icons, which number isn't limited any more + active desktop widgets + an advanced startmenu, which doesn't have limits regarding menus and submenus
- improved SymShell; I had to add some new features like better path handling, multiple file operations (like "COPY a:\subdir\*.exe b:\backup\*.bak", "MOVE *.* \", "REN great.* nagy.*" etc.) and such things
- network support; on the CPC there is a new RS232-based Ethernet->Wifi-bridge hardware and on the MSX we have the Wiznet W5100 ethernet chip; I hope we can use the Ethernet->Wifi-bridge, which is RS232 based, for the EP, too; it would be really cool, if SymbOS 3.0 support network for all three platforms!

@Zozo: Sorry for loosing your mail, I will write you tomorrow!!
