Very cool, if something like this was available for PCE it would beat hunting down a dev kit.

There is a new batch of these being made as we speak. I have a pre-order for one myself.

Yeah..

I think I might make that develo box and seriously track down the disks at some point and make copies for everyone interested

although with MagicKit you dont need the disks anymore (it supports the develo box).  The disk are for if you happen to have an MSX or PC98 setup :)


we need one of those though anyways, I like the USB and low profile of it.

 There's already on in the works. Charles M. is making a USB one. No parallel port nonsense.

I like parallel ports!

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

I like them too, Keranu. BITD, you could make you're own sound card just with a couple of resistors attached to the parallel port. But since the invention of XP and Vista, a regular shmoe can't access the port anymore. The port write commands are blocked by a security system in the CPU (it's been there since 386, but wasn't used). You need a special 'driver' made up or use an not always reliable 'wrapper' to interface with it, etc. In this day and age, USB is just easier.

Wow, I'd heard of the old Covox, but I didn't know it doesn't work under modern operating systems.  :(
