Very nice msx machine, I never saw this one...

[@CyberhugTechnologies]

It is a quality made computer Josip, very good quality and impressive looks. I am going to do more on MSX as i think it was the first try to unify functions under one brand and that was somehow important and smart back in the 80's when there was no compatibility at all. Thank you for watching mate!

[@johneygd]

I wonder how i do load cassettes tapes into the msx,i might have to go to basic and then write run,hit play and then hit return,or i have to go to transfer option,
Either way i found the menu a bit because instead of hitting up or down to get to the menu,you have to hit left or right to get trough the menu,i was very confused untill now.
