May I ask about parts availability? Is it possible to get them as NOS or those need to be acquired from MSX?
Parts required are the YM chip (Exxos sells them), Z80A (widely available) and the VDP9958/VDP9938... those are still obtainable.
The rest is TerribleFire technology.

Either a XC95288XL or XC95144XL.

What is plan for loading data, since cassette interface is gone?
I'm told that most people use carts thesedays.. The board has 2 cart slots.
I guess we could also emulate a tape from the ARM?

Just grab Carnivore2 Cartridge,
There ist nothing better for MSX2 for now:
I have repro carts from someone.. I know those everdrives are nice but... i like the physical changing of carts

So if we want to wire this grid to this?

Then we will be using only GPIOs. So any pin can be set up and configured as needed. I think all pins on f7 are 5V tolerant.
Unless it has to respond in less than few uS, then it is not important.

i'll wire IOA of the PSG to Port A, IOB to port B.
I'm not planning to put the mux chips on unless you think thats important or would slow the software down?
