OCM: questions and answers

Indeed, current VDP commands speed should be nice to run SymbOS and such, but at the moment even software emulators are a better choice for development (from the point of exactness of timing).

The question is whether exact VDP timing and other backward compatibility issues should be solved (at least in MSX2-compatible mode) or the upward compatibility is enough (I mean that if any existing MSX/MSX2 program runs in OCM, that's enough).

If the ocm would be 100% a normal msx2 in every way what would be the point of buying it.

well, it has a decent keyboard, built in up-scan-converter and is very lightweight A decent keyboard? afaik, the OCM ships without keyboаrd
(and on that 'decent' keyboard you want to plug in, show me the [Graph], , [Select], [Kana] or [Any] keys )

all true. Better put: it has "flexible" keyboard options :Plike this? oO

oh, those things so incredibly suck!
I know a certain lady who does the same.. ahum. sorry.
