Joep uit Rijen (bij Breda) heeft 4 kleuren monitoren (met kleine mankementen, bv scart
kabel die stoort) en 4 dozen met msx boeken die je GRATIS mag ophalen.

Wie van jullie heeft er belang bij ?
Groeten van Gré

Thanx for the tip Bas, got the MSX at home now

Question, there is a switch at the front pannel with a LED besides it.
When switched on the LED is lit, when diskdrive is active the LED blinks.
Can this be a 7MHz switch? Anyone an idea?

It's easy to try: fire up your MSX, having the switch turned ON. Once in BASIC, type: FOR I=0 TO 500: NEXT. If this is done in one second, it's still 3.5MHz, so the switch is used for something else.
If you can insert a disk w/ only MSXDOS2 on it and boot from it, it is a DOS2 switch.
If you can type SCREEN 12 in BASIC without it resulting in an 'Illegal function call', it's an MSX2+ switch.

Those are about all functionalities I've seen for such a switch.

With MSX2+ switch I actually meant an MSX BIOS switch, 'cause that's effectively what it is eh

If you see smoke comming out of the MSX you know it was the selfdestruct switch

If you can type _TURBO ON in BASIC without a resulting 'Illegal function call' (or similar), it's a KUN-BASIC switch

In most cases you first have to do _BC (call Basic Compiler), which loads the KUN compiler to memory... But I don't know the details on that. I think KUN BASIC is always enabled with this software switch.

Sorry for the late reaction.
Its seems to be a 7Mhz switch.
Thanks for the reactions.
