SPL, guess you can use a midi controller via USB on the OCM now

I am DEFINITELY going to order it. And, perhaps will paint it black to match my Sony Hit-Bit 201. It should look sexy

Now for a question: do you think that USB flash drives would work on it? Not that it would really matter, with the SD slot, but I don't really want to buy an SD card when I have 3 USB drives, you know?

You can buy a 512MB SD card for 15 euros. If you're gonna buy a new MSX for E.220,- you can afford the 15 extra, I guess.

2: sirpaul484 : Use Plastic Model Airbrush+Colors from Ravell it is best solution for plast-case colouring.
Try http://www.modelhobbies.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?cPath=47&products_id=734
It is about 15eur kit.But I think /I am student of industrial design/ case is perfect as transparent!I like when U can see PCB...
But it is only my own opinion...

Hey USBs are for PC-FPGA communication or for gamepads,keyboards,mouse....???

@Matej: for now the flyer says the USB is for 'future extention/expansion'. So it's not clear what the USB connectors can (or cannot) be used for.

Patsie: I guess that's true. Plus, I think I have a 32 meg one that came with my PDA which I haven't used.. that should work ok. (emphasis on "I think" )

Matej: That's a good idea. I will definitely try it out, If I can find them in my area... better than the way I was going to do it (getting a can of black spraypaint and going to town).

Yes, you're right (it can be great!) , but my ultra-simple midi keyboard has only standard-midi connectors

Yep, I am a bit "lost", but I still reading all of you... hope I will be less busy soon, but you know, new job, new town, new way of living, NO MSXing when I am in Zaragoza because I still living in a relative home and there is no space for it ... but I am looking for a rental flat, he he he

Also, I will be 100% sure at BCN PARTY 110. One question: when will be the next BCN MSX RU?

Yours,

If it's for future expansion, then it must be connected to the FPGA, which means you could use it for anything really. Provided that someone can code the vhdl for it of course.
