Re: Stéphane from France (MTX500)

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

Re: Stéphane from France (MTX500)

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...

Re: Stéphane from France (MTX500)

Thanks to you all for your comment and feedback, no problem @Martin, we found the mistake and now we have your answer : result was 0 I agree the difference between French and Belgian Azerty is strange.

Re: Stéphane from France (MTX500)

Hello Stephane! Wonderful to see an actual example of a French keyboard, they seem pretty rare. Your keyboard layout also seems to differ from Stéphane Scmitt's Belgian machine. Welcome to the community. I also recommend the MFX networking/solid state storage/80-column and VGA output solution, if y...

Re: Stéphane from France (MTX500)

Welcome. I won't say anything about games or storage systems, since I had a hand in designing a lot of them, my opinion might not be too impartial :) It's probably worth doing a "PRINT PEEK 64122" to confirm the amount of memory fitted. The MTX500 motherboard should print a zero and the M...

Re: Stéphane from France (MTX500)

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...

I'm using LOAD "" command on the MTX.

Thanks again

Stéphane

Stéphane from France (MTX500)

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...
