Thanks tOriman !
Still need some parts to run it at its full potential though.
I guess all the retro I'm selling now will finance the purchase of these parts...

Are you sure? ROTFL
This is very expensive stuff. I wish you good luck in the final completion of your equipment!
Btw and again - for sure - keyboard with hiragana looks nice - I must buy hybrid USB one for daily use ;-)

@tOriman
Hiragana keyboards are my daily life here, but I must say the X68000 keyboard has a nice feel n' touch...

Ok, so I have gathered some items for my X68000:
X68000.JPG
- An SX-68M-2 midi expansion card together with its mini-DIN to DIN cable and back plate
- An XSIMM10ss memory expansion card with a 16 MB ram fitted
- An MC68882RC25A FPU
- An original mouse, new and never used (so its ball is not rotten)
Some bits are still missing but it will be for next month...
I asked Retrocables in Spain to ship the RGB to VGA cable at the end of August, since I'm taking a long vacation and won't be at home to receive it.
