Let's see what the Spectravideo 328 is capable of doing! As the grandfather of the MSX standard, it is not quite fully MSX compatible itself, but it has an interesting and unique software library. It also seems reasonably easy to back port MSX games to the SVI 318/328 so we'll look into what's involved to do that.
