Just to note that recently Filip Balyu contributed a Sunrise IDE driver for FUZIX.

And just now Fuzix 0.4 has been released, for the first time with official MSX images (no need to compile anymore):

https://www.fuzix.org/downloads/0.4/msx1/
https://www.fuzix.org/downloads/0.4/msx2/

The instructions still do not mention that Sunrise IDE is supported for MSX2 (it was already for MSX1).
In fact I am not sure if Alan had a chance to test it on real hardware - I only tested it on openMSX ... so if anyone feels like testing it, welcome!

Filip - finally joined msx.org (some of you will know me) :-)
PS: I will visit MSX GOTO 40, hope to see you there!

Hey, that's really cool news! Good to hear that the MSX port is still alive and kicking!

Just 2 or 3 contributors so far for MSX, but is better than for many platforms which have 1 or 0.

I was just testing 0.4, it looks quite a bit faster than older versions.

I still see some hiccups on the console (the cursor is misplaced sometimes), and the multiple terminal option is disabled by default; CTRL + F1...F3 allows you to switch terminal much like in a Linux system but this needs to be configured in inittab (set the ttys to respawn instead of off).

I think it would be worth to fix that, as it would make the system usable.

Also is a shame that we do not have any network driver yet.

How is it for Sunrise IDE/CF having the Nextor driver? I think it's becoming more common nowadays.

Yeah, alright. I just realized I still have a gr8net and that ericb59 already did the hard work of putting together some c code in fusion-c to interface with the ethernet device.

I am going to take a closer look at that to see how difficult it is to turn it into a gr8net driver for Fuzix.

Is there a driver for FUZIX that enables the use of a SD Mapper? I mean, maybe it doesn't exist but is there an easy way to make it happen?

How to deal with the cart .rom image? Does srom.com of sofarun deals with boot images? I tried on the openmsx emulator emulating the first brazilian (or second) msx1 and i got success. It's rocket science making this things works. Maybe i should be studying first some assembly or some source of C as well... Does anybody who can help me available. Sorry about the confusing text but i speak just brazilian english, not cnn nor bbc
