What I think an MSX 3 Should be ?

What I wrote was "The idea of MSX always was to design the best possible affordable home computer, that comply the standard." Not just an affordable home computer.

Of course ZX Spectrum was (and many others were) an affordable home computer, but not the best possible one and not really complied any standard.

And I still love my MSX. And I love my Spectrum too!

isn 't that called sockpuppeting?

That's a stupid idea. There's nothing in the Raspberry Pi that resembles an MSX. If you need an emulation layer to run the MSX software then you already have that in any PC. Basing a new MSX design on a Raspberry Pi would be like buying a Porsche Cayman and modding it so it will run and drive like a Fiat 500:

Sure! That will appeal to the 10-20 of us who still keep CRT displays. Who cares about attracting thousands of new users who just want to connect these toys to their existing hardware.

First of all, I know next to nothing about electronics and integrated circuits, so please take my opinion about this with a grain of salt.

My opinion on using FPGA components hasn't changed since the long post I wrote over 10 years ago on this thread (scroll down to the post on 16-04-2005 at 22:01).

In short, my opinion is two-fold: on the one hand, I prefer discreet components because they're closer to the original and easier to tinker with. On the other hand, FPGA chips open new possibilities at the expense of blurring the line between hardware and software.

Irrelevant. Cost is not a factor when determining whether two platforms are close related or not. If we were to follow that rule, the IchigoJam would be an even better platform, right?

Then you have no idea of what you're talking about.
