For the hardware gurus among you, a guy named Matthew from the USA has created something exciting. On his website there is currently a pre order construction for the F18A, a pin-compatible replacement for the TMS9918A, 9928 and 9929 video chips. Among other computers, it has been tested in the Toshiba HX-10. The project actually uses FPGA, the technique found in the 1chipMSX, among others. It's not field upgradable, but bugs will be fixed for postage costs. Hundreds of these small boards are available at $98 each. For more information, make sure to visit the code|hack|create website.
