@rubber_jonnie

I will resume this post at the end of next month after my (long) summer pause...

I should then have my RGB to VGA cable so I can check my new machine.

I will of course cast glances at the forum time to time to check your new inbounds.

:D

After a long summer break and a busy return to work, I am slowly back to business...

So here is an update for my X68000.

Got these some weeks ago:

SX-WINDOW 3.0, upgrade disks to SX-WINDOW 3.1 and 6MB internal RAM upgrade:

A nice RGB to VGA cable from Retrocables.es:

The previously acquired MIDI board and RAM expansion board are now fitted:

The FPU and the internal RAM are also installed:

And the FPU lid is clsoed:

The Henkanbancho V4 and its 4GB CF card look good too:

That's all for today...

(Sorry, but the image rotate function doesn't seem to work and I cannot set correctly pictures 3 to 6...) :(
