Thanks for the link!  Cool

Here's another link, which shows one deconstructed: (Hopefully the keyboard on mine is in a better state of repair)

I will get a memory expansion cartridge for the system!

My HIT-BIT arrived Today, and I'm very happy with it physically! It's basically perfect! (It's Super Cool, and it's RED!!!!)

I really battled to get this thing through customs! What a pain in the neck!!! (I ended up having to get an Import Permit for it!)

It will be a long while before I start to look at powering this machine up! (If at all)

I would certainly have to have a fully functioning ZX Spectrum Issue One first!

MSXen are loads of fun. Dunno how easy they are to get ahold of these days, but there's a flashcart you can get with a built-in Konami SCC+ clone.

They sure do look to be interesting!

I do plan on getting a 64k memory cartridge, as well as a few game cartridges for the machine.
