Hello!
I've seen that the amiga owners can use their "old" computers as USB keyboard via one hardware item. With this item you can connect them to a PC or MAC. So, do you think it would be possible to do the same thing with our MSX? Maybe making a cartridge-USB or something to use them with the OCM??? Just wondering...

Maybe you can abuse Nowind for it? Or do I have the wrong picture of how USB works? (Very well possible.)
But um, what is the fun of that anyway?

You can play the emulators with the original keyboard the games were designed for...  |

Really funny idea! I just heard so often, that people want to connect a USB-PC-keyboard to their 8bits, so that the other way around sounds crazy  |

Hm, the ultimate ZX Spectrum pimp, I guess: how to turn your meager ZX Spectrum into a full blown MSX.
Hook up the ZX Spectrum to a PC and use the Speccy as a keyboard for your fave MSX emulator (which of course is openMSX (hi dvik!  )) |
