Michel,
Unfortunately I really don't know C or Pascal or Power Basic. I'm an old
Basic, COBOL, xBase, etc. programmer who really doesn't want to learn
another language at this point in my life (old!).

Guy,
Why don't you get MSX, then you can make the add on your self.
I don't think it is too complicated if you know C or C++ Pascal , Power
Basic.
