Sorry, i don't remember, does the original Toshiba audio module have samples in e.g. Moonblaster, i mean playing back samples? I seem to remember that there was no sample memory at all in the Toshiba, maybe that's the first upgrade sd_snatcher is talking about. I don't have schematics of the Toshiba version.

DD, yes, that's the first upgrade. He directly goes for 256kB though Smile (And why not...)

DD: the schematics of the Toshiba version are here: http://msx.retro8bits.com/msxarchives/toshibahx900upgrades.zip

It doesn't uses a print! It uses a SIMM30 module for memory.

From the looks of it, this board only fits a Music Module. There's also other wiring needed and I don't think the toshiba will have enough vertical space inside to facilitate the extension board.

In fact, the better choice is:

- 27C256 for the Toshiba
- 27C512 for the Music Module

Does anyone know how stable that latest msx audio bios from FRS is?

Have a look at this thread.

The 1.2pre4 beta is newer.

The one on the old thread was the original 1.0 version, with a small patch to skip the I/O port configuration and allow it to run on the NMS-1205. (The FS-CA1 had reconfigurable I/O ports, while both the NMS-1205 and the HX-MU900 have fixed I/O ports).
