Hello,
Just acquired this beauty:
I know very little about the MTX computers so looking forward to learning more.

Re: Hello
Hi Rich,
welcome to the forum!
You certainly grabbed that in record time - it looks like it's in great condition.
You've come to the right place for Memotech info - the forum is small - but beautifully formed
Although the number of active Memotech users is pretty small, there is a wealth of knowledge here and a small number of very useful websites, including :-
http://www.primrosebank.net/computers/mtx/mtx512.htm
Where you can probably find anything your ever wanted to know about Memotech (and even more that you didn't)
Run by some dodgy bloke in Aberdeen
http://www.nyangau.org/memotech/memotech.htm
A great place for technical data about the inner workings of the MTX
Home for Andy's great software emulator (MEMU) and his hardware add-ons (Check out REMEMOrizer!!!!!)
Run by ex-Memotech programmer and current guru - Andy Key
http://www.mtxworld.dk/main.php
Hosted in Denmark, but the site is in English
Focused on game conversions and wave file formats for games etc.
Run by Claus Baekkel
http://www.anvil-ict.co.uk/memotech/index.htm
Run by Jim Wills (publisher of Megastar games)
http://mtxinfo.de/
German site, but in English
Run by Peter Ketzschmar

Dave

Standby alert
“There are four lights!”
Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb
Looking forward to summer being good this year
Not as many MTXs as Dave!

Re: Hello
Hi fellas
Thanks for the welcome!
Been busy with relatives and work since it arrived...
Anyway, got around to powering it up and the video and keyboard both seem fine which was a bit of a surprise. I'd heard bad things about the keyboard and it was a bit stiff in places but no bounce or missing keys. A bit of selective pummelling is loosening it up.
So what do I do next? It's in such fantastic condition that I could just pack it away as a museum piece.
What are your must have 'applications' ?
All that aside, it's clearly a beautiful machine and I'm proud to own one.
(BTW - the Smilies look really ugly against the dark background on this site).

Must have Software

Re: Hello
The "must have" hardware (REMEMOrizer) includes the "must have" software!
I will second the MAGROM suggestion - not that I'm biased either of course

Hmm, biased in the sense that it's like a clock that has span round many times at high speed and still stops with the hands pointing in only one direction.Dave wrote:The "must have" hardware (REMEMOrizer) includes the "must have" software!

Of course, they are both right
