The French MSX community portal MSX Café has published a dossier on the One Chip MSX, the new FPGA based MSX computer of which we still hope to see a Western/English release in the future.
TNI members Albert Beevendorp and Patriek Lesparre have put together a section on MSX Banzai dedicated to the 1ChipMSX.
A few days ago, MSX User Edwin Velds placed an in-depth text on our forum, with instructions on how to resurrect a 1chipMSX. If the 1chipMSX won't boot anymore due faulty VHDL code, you can't resurrect the machine using software, and a standard cable is a tad expensive.

HRA has updated his One Chip MSX fansite with a new VHDL patch that increases the amount of RAM in the One Chip MSX's MSX2 configuration from 1MB to an even more respectable 2MB.
As of today, more than 3.000 MSX Game Readers were sold in the ASCII MSX Store. This means that these USB ROM Cartridge readers will actually be produced and sold for a price of 12.500 yen (about 95 euro).
