Hi, my name's Pedro and i'm from Portugal. I'm a Vintage Computer Collector.
Recently i got a Memotech MTX 512, with Memory extension and a Dual Serial/ Floppy expansion card???
Currently i'm waiting for a PSU, to check if it works.
Best regards,
Pedro Torres

Re: Pedro Torres from Portugal
Welcome!
The dual serial card doesn't actually have a floppy interface merely a connector to allow it to interface with the FDX floppy drive and 80 column display unit.
If you do want a virtual floppy drive interface, it seems that there's still a couple of CFX cards available:

As for the power supply, I hope that you find one soon, then you can play!

Hi Pedro,
Welcome to the forum.
I hope that you find a power supply for your MTX, but they are very difficult to find.
Mark Kinsey has designed a replacement that you may be able to build yourself

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb

Not as many MTXs as Dave!
