    Guys,

    Has anybody got an idea of what the pinout for the C-BUS that is used in the japanese PC-98x series of computer is?

    One guy on a PC Engine/PC-FX forum (actually the developper of the Mednafen emulator) had the interesting idea to build an adapter C-BUS to ISA in order to use the PC-98 version of the PC-FXGA on regular Western PCs, according to him there are some similarities between C-BUS and ISA.

    Since PC-98 machines are hard to get in Europe that could be cool!!!

    Any ideas? Links?

    Assembler?

    Cheers

    Sabre

    Why bother, the dos/v cart is cheap enough.

    Yeah but I'll get killed by Mrs spending $400+ on a old piece of junk (her words) just to play a few demos, Same Game FX and Nnyu.

    But I agree it might take a lot of work to get it to work plus the architectural differences between platforms may not help.

    Have you got any DOS/V to sell?

    Thanks for your input
