The enhanced VDP stuff and 80 column card look interesting. Are you looking to upgrade it to be compatible with the VDP in the MSX-2 specification maybe allowing MSX-2 game ports?

I'm getting the girls ready for the public to play on them next weekend in Cambridge. It's a pity I couldn't find someone to lend an FDX to me for the display but oh well. Oh, and the TV doesn't want to display the RGB output from the VDP2RGB board fitted to the 500, so it will just have to be compo...

Hello Dave,

The person with the Memotech was me!



I'll be back with my two MTX machines this year celebrating the 40th anniversary of the MTX's release.

Oh well. Never mind then. Just the MTX500 with CFX and RGB board and MTX512 with MFX to show, with copies of the flyers.

I need to get some A5 sized plastic displays to house the things I'll be printing out.

Aww.. pity, I'd have paid your entrance fee to the event.

Hehe

If you were to get a rugby match arranged over the same weekend next door to the museum then I can think of someone with a rather large MTX collection who may be tempted in visiting south ;-) :lol: I'm sure that there'd be a rugby match somewhere around Cambridge that weekend, though it'd probably ...

There are a few around. I'll just have to ask on another list. The problem is probably the logistics. The FDX is heavy and bulky, any loan would likely require local collection. The cost of shipping would likely be high and it would be pretty difficult to get adequate insurance against loss or dama...

I think there aren't enough FDXs in existence still. Besides I'm not sure those who have them want to enable any re-enactments of the Weird Science "creation" scene!! :lol: "You want me to dress up as who, love? Kelly Brook? What, her off the weight-watchers ads? And get my bra off y...

Yeah, I was worried about the hordes to be honest. Too many offers.

I'm going to be taking my two MTXs along to the Centre for Computing History in Cambridge for the retro-festival at the beginning of November (4th/5th) with a theme of the MTX at 40. It would be nice if an FDX unit could be on the table as part of the display, which doesn't need to be operational as...
