sure, I’ll try to discuss with him too.

I found also a very few other french owners of MTX512 in our french FB Group « Ordinosaures » but I don’t know yet if they are french keyboards or imported versions.
Besides, I didn’t find any other french MTX500 yet

Thanks again

Sure, I will do some when I open the machine. I also read some pages of the very amazing website of Dave and found another french collector and web friend Gilles Bronchain may have a MTX512. I will check his keyboard configuration. I also understood by the way that the DIN plug I have on the right s...

You're always better with a mono lead if you can find one, stereo plugs are unlikely to work. You need to use the "Ear" connections to load tapes Thank you Dave, a bit surprising to use the ear plug as an input! that’s why I tried the mic at first Anyway, this isn’t working neither, I nee...

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your very quick reply, much appreciated.

I'm right now trying playing the .wav files on my PC with a double stereo 3,5mm mini jack cable that I plugged into "MIC" but nothing happend

Thanks again

Hello, I'm Stéphane from France, I'm collecting vintage computers and I'm now very very happy having acquired a "french" MTX500 with AZERTY keyboard. This is to me a very nice piece in my collection. I did some cleaning this morning and this evening I tried to power it on and it seems boot...
