Are you saying that the original has 64kB VRAM?? AFAIK all MSX1's with V9938 have 16kB VRAM. There's no reason to add anything bigger anyway...

Great write up though!

Got my CX5MII/128 to work. Found that I had a corrupted COMMAND2.COM file. Once I got that corrected the machine booted perfectly. Now have a CX5MII/128 (no clock chip even though all the parts are installed except for the RP05C) with a Sunrise IDE interface connected to a Hard disk and a CDROM. Since I have a single sided floppy drive the trick was to move only one file at a time on the floppy from a DOS PC to the hard drive. The second file would always be corrupted. Now with the CDROM I just burn all the downloaded software with my Slackware Linux machine and then move it to the CX5M. I would like to get the all the extra files from the MSX-DOS 2.
