So, after a bit of head scratching and thinking about it for a while I bought this on eBay:
It's a PC Engine Duo, the CD drive is iffy, and there are supposedly some image quality issues, but the HuCard slot is fine, so it should make an interesting project.
Like I needed another project...
More on this when it arrives from Japan!!!

As that lady in the clip about elections says, "Not another one." ;-)
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.

LOL @ the above.
One of those is on my list but if I do an RJ again this month I'll be shot by the Missus.

If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Re: I'm a hopless addict - PC Engine Duo inbound...
At the risk of jinxing my recent restraint, I've not bought any retro computers in months (but some music-related bargains might have arrived in that period :roll: ) so not sure how long that will last...
I've just seen the topic about what else people want to add, so I will add a (shortish) list on there....
