Altera, one of the largest and most well known developers of PLD chips, is holding the 'PLD World 2004' conference in Tokyo on October 29th, 2004. During this event many different companies will show their latest developments, demonstrating the power of FPGA. Among such companies as Hitachi and Panasonic, ASCII and MSX Association will be there as well, demonstrating their upcoming hardware release: a one chip MSX1 computer.
Although the plans of the One Chip MSX announced by Nishi during this lecture and in this powerpoint presentation go a lot further than just creating an MSX compatible device consisting out of one chip, it looks like MSX Association and ASCII are first going to release a cheap MSX-compatible one chip computer, in a nice casing, that can be modified by its owner with VHDL code (since it's FPGA). This first edition of the one chip MSX will most likely be based on the ESE MSX2 project. Final designs and specifications are presently unknown, but we will keep you posted as soon as we find out more about this!
