Very sad news for us :( . They have finished to work with MSX, so no new Slotexpanders, megarams, MSX motherboards...

I wanted to buy a slotexpander and even I was very interested in the new MSX 2+ Motherboard, but now it will be impossible.

Yours,

I wonder if there is any hardware left? I can't see any looking through the site? No email contact either?

This is not sad, this is horrendous! What made him take this decision right now, just before releasing UNI? Does anybody posting here know him in person, to ask him what made he take this decision?

I don't know him, but I'll try to send him an e-mail though the address above.

I only know this, in the last months several brazilian msx-developers have quit the scene (or at least left for a while), due to others making personal attacks/offenses to them with no reason whatsoever to do so... Ademir is just another one on the list.

It was said on MSXBR-L lots of times, when Ademir comes up with an idea, there's always lots of people who promess to buy his stuff, but after he invested the money on the components, and ask people to pay, then only a few actually do it. So he ends up loosing money on his projects, and delaying delivery because of this.

Just see the UNI: it was scheduled to be delivered in May, but still as today there's 1 user who havent payed it in full... others just finished payment at the end of may, and lots of people who said to be interested at the beginning didnt even make into that list...

Add to it lots of verbal/written abuse from some people who apparently just wants to create havok (they didnt even purchased anything from him, but still thinks to have the right to criticize him!), and I think it's probably the reason why Ademir is lefting the scene Sad

I do hope he will change his mind though - after all MSX is an addiction Wink

I must admit I am one of the ones which recently stated interest on acquiring an UNI and didn't made a formal order, but this was due to personal financial issues. There is always people complaining, and I strongly hope he changes his mind. I think no user, even the boring ones, shall leave the MSX scene - the latter just need to remain silent Smile . But to lose Ademir is certainly a major loss to Brazilian MSXzers, if not for all of them.

Actually, I was unable to buy one because of some money preferences, but now I was able to buy it and I wanted one.... and I've seen this sad news The same happened with the amazing slotexpander. Now I need one also.

I already translated the frontpage news up to the current one. Sometimes translation comes a little late because I'm the only one doing it regularly for Portuguese by now. Other international versions of MRC sometimes are translated with some delay, even considering they have more translators available.

Regarding the making of a formal newspost about this situation, I believe it is more advisable to wait for a while as the situation develops, as we still hope this is not a final decision.
