Forgot to say :
BitCOM transfer software is also compatible with Sony HBI232 (the original one) and can be use also with Sony HBG900 MSX computers.
Also, It can works with the RS232 cartridge from Spectravideo (theoricaly, but not tested)

My two HBI-232MKII just arrived and they are really great.

Thanks Eric and Eugeny to make those amazing carts. Nice to see some good MSX hardware *with* a printed manual and a plastic box.

So now it's easier adding an RS232 port to your MSX than adding it to your PC Big smile

USB-RS232 adapters are easy to find. I use these adapters to connect my PC to my MSXs
