I'm happy to say that I will soon be the proud owner of an MSX machine, a Toshiba HX-10
And it's on its way!!

So fingers crossed it won't be long.
I was fascinated by the MSXs, but in the end never had one because I couldn't afford one and already had my 8 bit Ataris. Nice to have one in the collection now :)
I will follow up with pics once it arrives.

I did plug it in and power on briefly, no smoke as yet :)

But I will be heading up to the Wirral on Thursday to see my parents, so limited opportunities this week. I'm keen to see inside, s a capacitor check will happen, but not right away.

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.
