Awesome!
I went down the "DIY" path to get an MSX. Built an
Omega open source "clone". It's been hilarious loading games in off tape so far.
I just ordered the PCB for a FDD cartridge (The project is
here. I'm not the creator)
After that, it'll be time to get a cartridge for it. Currently looking at the MegaFlashROM SCC+ SD.

BTW I saw a build video on YT for the Omega, looks nifty, how did you get on?

You're not wrong, but £995 for a cart is pretty excessive in my book....
:dizzy:

Yep. "A fool and their money are easily parted" is the saying which comes to mind.

I'll sort out cassette cables first then get an SD cart :)

I'm sure I can find an oxygen-free, gold (coloured) plated plastic SD card you could buy. Higher fidelity bits with the gold (coloured) plating you know. A mere snip at £500 for a 1GB one. ;-)

You could take a look at the Carnivore2 as well, which is a great expansion, though not sure if it is available at the moment.
