#MSX Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The "++" is 18 bit re-implementation of the 8 bit MSX.
|
||||
|
||||
- msx0++ = micro-controller platform (no PSG,no VDP,no keyboard)
|
||||
- msx1++ = kids mode-1 of msx3++ (max 16 colors at 640x480, NO PCM)
|
||||
- msx2++ = kids mode-2 of msx3++ (max 18 bit at 2k)
|
||||
- msx3++ = tricorders and nx01 terminal interfaces
|
||||
- msx4 = 144 bit unlimited size matrix cube
|
||||
|
||||
MSX4 design parameters;
|
||||
|
||||
- unlimited cpu
|
||||
- unlimited memory
|
||||
- unlimited devices
|
||||
- unlimited storage
|
||||
- unlimited network
|
||||
- unlimited number precision
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Basic++
|
||||
|
||||
Beginners
|
||||
All-purpose
|
||||
Symbolic
|
||||
Instruction
|
||||
Code
|
||||
++
|
||||
|
||||
Variables will me made fix fixed lenght hard translatable 18 bit words.
|
||||
So all BASIC++ code will be for every child in 100% local human language.
|
||||
|
||||
MSX-BASIC `6.0` has the following features to delete ASCII from the MSX;
|
||||
|
||||
- Source in FC18(5785) as binary tokens in namespaced container tree format
|
||||
- Upgrade to OPL(1984) BASIC without line numbers
|
||||
- Embed APL(1966) into BASIC to write very short math functions
|
||||
- Emded MPI-2(2007) like message interface for multi-process runtime
|
||||
- Emded binary structure tree support, struct+inter and transform
|
||||
- Uses simple `Decimal-144` and 1152 bit NCR fractions
|
||||
- Add time slicer for stepped BASIC code see: arduino pulsefire [mal.c](http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/pulsefire.git/tree/pulsefire-chip/src/main/c/mal.c)

# MSX4ATARI-SPEC
|
||||
|
||||
Goodbye bit, goodbye bytes.
|
||||
|
||||
- Cache is design error
|
||||
- DMA is design error
|
||||
- SMP is design error
|
||||
- Shared memory is design error
|
||||
- Threads are design error
|
||||
- Unicode is one big brainfuck
|
||||
- Computer language in human letters
|
||||
|
||||
The last real computer language was MSX basic as it stored the code in binary format.
|
||||
A real computer language does not used a human ascii file format.
|
||||
A child should not have to learn english and loose is culture just to write code,
|
||||
Code and docs written by a hindi speaking child should be usable by a spanish speaking child.
|
||||
|
||||
## MSX0⁺⁺ spec
|
||||
|
||||
A simple 18 bit platform for embedded and boot device.
|
||||
See it as a MSX like one-chip 18 bit "Tandem T16" main frame.
|
||||
|
||||
MSX0++:
|
||||
- 18 bit CPU; ZR8000
|
||||
- 144 bit memory mapper
|
||||
- MSXMMU+MSXIOMU for diplavi
|
||||
- MSXSLOT2
|
||||
- new 10Mhz UART console
|
||||
- MSX spec without VDP,PSG and keyboard
|
||||
|
||||
ZR8000
|
||||
- i8080 register based + ix/iy
|
||||
- 18 bit data bus
|
||||
- Z8000 quad memory space
|
||||
- external stack for unlimited stack
|
||||
- opCode traps
|
||||
- Multiport CPU with 4 data and addr busses
|
||||
|
||||
There are 4 addressable spaces;
|
||||
* 2^18 addresses for code memory.
|
||||
* 2^18 addresses for data memory.
|
||||
* limited 512 words stack WINDOW peek for "unlimited stack size".
|
||||
* limited 512 words for local I/O and matrix switching requests.
|
||||
|
||||
All four windows have separated data and address busses.
|
||||
|
||||
The infinity stack controller has a few pages local in a ring buffer,
|
||||
so it can request a new memory page when the stack fills.
|
||||
|
||||
Besides the stack, the code/data memory is paged and can be recursive
|
||||
switched to load/store a full page(36KB) from the unlimited global memory.
|
||||
This is done by a cpu slot device controller which is a packet interface to
|
||||
the slot controllers
|
||||
|
||||
Machine nodes of skynet, able to run native CP/M code from 1978.
|
||||
Replaces all other embedded platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
## MSX3⁺⁺ spec
|
||||
|
||||
Equal to MSX0⁺⁺ spec, but added;
|
||||
|
||||
MSX3++:
|
||||
- 4x CPU
|
||||
- 4x VDP
|
||||
- 4x Blitter
|
||||
- 4x OPL4
|
||||
|
||||
Humanoid nodes of skynet.
|
||||
For tricorder's devices and UI panels.
|
||||
|
||||
## MSX4 spec
|
||||
|
||||
True 18 bit platform with 144 bit CPU.
|
||||
|
||||
MSX4;
|
||||
- CPU; TR9000
|
||||
- TempleOS4 + Orange ERP OS on FPGA matrix
|
||||
- Holydeck full 3D display output
|
||||
|
||||
TR9000
|
||||
- MISC stack based (see philips MISC)
|
||||
- 144 bit data internals
|
||||
- external stack for unlimited stack
|
||||
- Multiport CPU with 8 ports, thus 5 stacks for matrix math
|
||||
- Native Decimal144 for BASIC number
|
||||
- Simple 1152 bit fractions for MATH
|
||||
|
||||
So a prototype "workstation" MSX4 matrix is 18 units;
|
||||
18 by 18 grid stacked 18 high in cube.
|
||||
|
||||
So FPGA matrix of 5832 chips to test small scale.
|
||||
|
||||
Unlimited size matrix computers for adult octal nx01 warpcore running TempleOS.
