Hope things turn out better for you soon.

Thanks a lot.

I'll drop Dave a line to ask him about availability.

The "new CFX" turned into the MFX, which is "infinitely" better. :-) Oh, wow! This does indeed illustrate how comprehensively I’ve been out of the picture over the last year! Dave, Martin… MFX is a SPECTACULAR piece of work! I’m absolutely thrilled that you’ve come up with such ...

The currently available "modern" media solution is Compact Flash, see the CFX links on my website. CFX is a product designed by Martin and myself. There is an updated version in the works, well, on the drawing board at least, but it is a long way away from fruition as I don't have any tim...

By the way, Martin Allcorn… I don't know him personally, but his is certainly a name I've encountered in the Acorn world, and I was interested to see a familiar RISC OS icon on your page! (Indeed, I'm one of those "very few" people who'd be able to assemble your original RISC OS-based fir...

My take on the history of Memotech http://primrosebank.net/computers/memotech.htm , release of the MTX http://primrosebank.net/computers/mtx/mtxabout.htm and the Russian sales bid http://primrosebank.net/computers/mtx/mtx_russian_bid.htm can be found via the links attached Absolutely fascinating, t...

Welcome to the boards, Richard. I think it's telling that the MTX was the machine that folks with other systems lusted after. It's a great system, one foot in the general 8-bit micro camp and the other in the CPM business computer camp, but possibly part of it's failure to takeoff, too. Obviously, ...

All I can say is that I joined recently, and I'm legitimate!
