Bazix introduce FPGA based One Chip computer system

Wonder why it took 2 years to arrive in Europe from Japan (o;

Errr... although the first steps of the 'MSX revival' were taken more than 2 years ago in Japan, the One Chip MSX is a new product that still has to go into production, even in Japan ;)

so I copy a bitrstream to the sd card and new computer is ready to go? how come? I dont see an intelligent configuration controller, only the serial config eprom :( and sd card that is connected to the FPGA, ah ok well yes its actually doable, if ALL bitstreams include the spi reflasher and some config selection then, but still its not very easy..

the onechipmsx just promises lots of configs, anything ready ? commodore64 is 100% working ??? or is it just someone wishful thinking?

Hello Antti,

Actually the SD card can be used as a FAT16-compatible storage device, similar to connecting a SCSI or IDE interface to a real MSX computer. The MSX-DOS included with the device will come with a tool to change the code inside the FPGA chip.

The only upgrade announced and promised by Bazix is an upgrade to MSX2 compatibility. Other systems were merely mentioned to give an idea of the potential of the device for people who are not that familiar with FPGA as of yet.

Cheers,
