Where can get all schemes for NMS8250, including Keyboard scheme. Is it real to made Keyboard for standart KBD port on NMS8250 at home? Wat is the way out, how to use NMS8250 w/o native KBD. I live i Ukraine and it is impossible to buy KBD for me (TOO-O-O-O Expensive).

You can find the service manual here:

The keyboard interface is really simple. The only work to do is to cross the pins in a matrix, in the correct way, of course.

I cant open that page. When I am trying to open page with NMS8250 manual I receive 404 eror "file not found".
Is there is a mirror or other site or maybe someone has this manual in his own collection and coud share with me?

The requested URL /pub/msx/mirrors/hanso/service_manuals/philipsnms825055sm.pdf was not found on this server.

http://www.msxarchive.nl/ is actually down because they have exceeded their bandwidth limit , maybe the first of april the website is back.

I have this manual, I can pass you via e-mail, if you want. fran.povedano@tinet.org

The manual, (in fact all files on my site), is now downloadable again, I have extended my available space (yes, I pay for this free service for the MSX community!) and uploaded all files previously stored on msxarchive (thanks Tristan!).

So be gentle to this MSX manual and document archive, it will be shutdown immediately if I see mass downloads occurring.

HansO - cool, but please also keep the msxarchive archive updated... (when it's back).

Thanks for everybody. And especially for Hans. I have just downloaded all needed files.

I have not decided about that. Funet was chosen by me to host the documents and files because I believed that was a place that would survive the demise of personal web sites, like mine.

Now msxarchice is the new incarnation of funet, but it is a personal website also. Tristan pays private money for it, and with the usual hassle in our scene very few express their gratitude for that, most complain alas. In fact the members of the MRC frown upon its mostly warez content and often do not allow it to be mentioned, the people behind Bazix surely like to see it disappear. I wonder why and how long Tristan will cough up the money or even care. If it was not for the occasional nice email or new contribution I would also have stopped adding news.

So I wonder if the documents and program archives I have created and collected or were donated by many MSX enthousiasts , many but not all created with consent of the copyright holders, are on the right location there. Or even will be safe on my website, if and when Bazix starts with threads and approaches our ISPs.

Anyway, many documents require a technical update. With the current better tools and new originals I have required, the older ones, dating from 1999-2001, need updates. I will do that the next year and do not care about copying and publishing on other websites (though not mentioning the origin is a bit unpolite).

But I will not rely on other sites anymore, to discover that I have a massive amounts of dead links on my site.
Conclusion after this long rant: I do not think it is a good idea to update or even keep my files on msxarchive anymore. In fact, all new things added in 2006 are only on my site already.

I think it is always a very good idea to have a public backup somewhere (e.g. in case you site goes down for some reason) and msxarchive is still a proper place for it, IMHO. But it's your decision, of course. I just REALLY think it's a good idea to have a public back up.
