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!!!

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.
Apologies now if my purchase gets you in trouble

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 ) 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....
