ASCII MSX

This page is dedicated to ASCII MSX, the new MSX from ASCII Corporation. Please note that most information here is highly speculative and is subject to change as the plans by ASCII become more clear.

The ASCII MSX is the last step in the road-map to the MSX Revival. The first step is MSX Player, an MSX emulator.

The next step will be a one-chip MSX, with the following speculative specifications:

It is not clear how this one-chip MSX will become a full MSX (with keyboard, floppy drive, powersupply, etc). There have been several ideas, but which idea will become reality is absolutely unclear. A few ideas that have been mentioned are:

• Manufacturers will use the chip to make a complete computer
• The chip will be used as embedded processor in appliances (like a network computer, a refrigerator, etc)
• The chip will become available as part of a popular electronics package so that people can build their own MSX
