Thought i'd post this ... I just got it from Japan and its a thing of beauty. It needs converted to 230V (not sure what my approach is going to be yet).

Wow it's like a massive Walkman :) by the way are the keyboards on these MSX units any good? Mechanical or rubber dome etc.

What a MSeXy looking machine!
Have you had a look at the HIC-1 daughter board caps? Supposed to be prone to leaking.
Transformer swap is the easiest thing to do?

Re: Another MSX Machine Aquired
Does it use an internal or external PSU?
Hmm... MSX2... with a "Turbo" mode.

Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

Re: Another MSX Machine Aquired
Another nice addition to the computer collection. Just an HX-10 here in my MSX collection so far but was looking at one of those last night.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Re: Another MSX Machine Aquired
In all my travels, I once managed to pick up an MSX joystick as part of a retro computer joblot bundle...which I have kept to this day.
However, actually owning that made me curious about the MSX machines. I still havent picked one up (have had a bid on a few here and there over the years), but from what I can remember, the Video processor on the later models got to be quite brilliant for an 8-bit machine. (I guess like a sort of 8 bit X68000!)
