Hi there,
As i'm very intrested in new hardware initiatives for the MSX i followed a lot of stuff comming to this site & forum.
Last weekend I bought a ESE MSX System 3 (OCM) and plugged my USB keyboard in it but nothing happend
so I start reading about the OCM and saw that the USB connectors are for development only.
A few weeks back ago I saw the Nowind USB interface for the MSX and I was realy enthousiastic about that one.
After a night sleep I came up with an idea, but cause I'm not a developer I'm not able to build/program it and don't know if it is possible at all.
My idea is this : Create a piece of code that we can implement in the OCM that the USB port is used as a Nowind Interface, this way you can hook up your OCM to your PC and use the functionality from the Nowind on the OCM.
For the developers of Nowind there is a bad side and a good side to it. The bad side is that OCM users wont buy a Nowind Interface, but the good side is that lots of OCM users will use the Nowind software and cause there are a lot of people using the OCM as a developers platform, the chance is that those people can also work on the improvement of the software what makes the Nowind Interface a realy good supported Interface.
I like your thoughts on this idea (is it a good idea, is it bad and why, is it possible)


. They’re not very expensive (I think I bought the keyboard that’s plugged in to my ESE 3 a couple of years ago), and I think most keyboards that are sold have a USB-to-PS/2 conversion dongle, too. Also, there are a ton of second-hand PS/2 keyboards around, you can just ask at work or at a school or university, I’m sure they can give you one for free
