Wonder if people will use some time to write a bit about when they rediscovered Memotech ?
I do believe some had the Memotech hidden away for years, and suddenly rediscovered it ? - other might had get rid of it and got a new one from e.g Ebay.
Here is my story:
I bought my first Memotech 2nd hand, when i was 13years old, in april 1987. It was my first computer, I had great fun with it, but already in August 1988 or 1989, I sold it in order to buy a SpectraVideo 328 (Pre MSX), cause my mothers brother had one, and we could exchange programs and games. I sold the Memotech to my brother. There years passed, and I moved to MSX, MSX2+ and last MSXTURBO-R before the PC took over...
In around 1998 I bought a CD Burner. I recall around 300£.
Later I saw the Memotech MTX where my brother left it at the loft, and I bought it back from him, and tried to convert some games back to CDR for better chance of a success Load from a CD instead of TAPE.
a few more years passed, and then I was searching, the internet a found emulator files, knows as .MTX files, and I came up with the idea to transfer the files back to the Memotech since I could not find all the old games as tapes.
Later I discovered the ColecoVision had same hardware as the Memotech (Might be around 2000-2001) and got in touch with John Dondzilla who gave me his Colecovision source code for Space Invasion he wrote in Assembler, I made a Memotech MTX Conversion of that game.
Before 2009 (dont know the year) I got in touch with Andy Key, it was long time before Facebook group was born.
Since Facebook came and I found the Memotech Group, I used more time with the Memotech, and more people discovered the group .
It seems like my first success full conversions from other systems was made from 2012 (not including the Colecovision Space Invasion). So actually A lot happends from 2009 and forwards, and I dont have any plans to drop working at projects for Memotech. I feel the computer gave me so much joy in the 80's so I going to pay it back, with new software

My Original Memotech is dead, and cant be repaired, but I currently have two Working Memotech MTX512's one with Danish Keyboard and ROM. And another is a UK standard.
I have one or two dead mainboards, but no time to check what is wrong, also have two spare keyboards and cases, so I guess could be restored into working computers ?

Also have a FDX (or SDX) its a Single DISK Drive in a FDX box, which need repair, mainly I guess the PSU is the problem.
