Omega is MSX2, mine in particular has also the V9958.
No criticism on your attempt, just an explanation why there might be a lack of interest.

Poot! I wanted to get a TFMSX to help me diagnose my Omega MSX. (Mine is very, very unhappy)

Help me pressure @go0se into building them :)

How many people on here from the UK owned an MSX in the 80's? Much like the Sharp X68K, I'd never heard of the MSX until the 2000s via the net.

It's funny that there is an Omega version of the MSX because thats the name I picked for my cheaper and easier to build Uzebox clone. In the case of the Uzebox Omega I picked that because my clone replaces the svideo of the Uzebox with a (O)mega Drive 2 compatible din AV socket.

John H.(Chucky) has some available just bought one. I had the impression he had still some more.

Will this be your first MSX?

As I’m from the Netherlands the MSX 1 was at the start of homecomputing all over the place here. If somebody told you in the late 80’s I have an old computer laying around it was almost certainly a MSX 1.
My uncly had an MSX 1 and every sunday we played buck rogers on it.

Later it was overtaken by c64 and Amigas and Atari ST’s.
We had MSX 2 at school. But MSX 2 was not a big success never saw them at my friends or family.
