Re: Hello

I am interested in at least getting it back up to 64k. Most of my machines get some form of cf or sd card.

Hello

Hi, I am new to the memotech MTX having wanted one since I was a kid just because it looks cool :D Last August I got a non working MTX512 and it wasn't until this week that I managed to get a power supply (funnily enough labelled MTX500 for reasons below).
