Hello

I have fighted to get my old turbo-r back to life, but my skills are not good enough, alot of people helped at the msx.org, but i still cant fix it.

Less than one week ago it worked, and i was ready to but it together almost

But then the big capasistor started to smoke, and it havent runned since. Anyway I am trying to get some one to fix it here In Denmark. But if he cant solve the problem, i was thinking if anyohne at msx.org are interested to buy this fallen hero ?

Its a A1ST turbo-R actually its one of the first, cause i was bough by Henrik Gilvad back then.

He added extra memory to the VDP - 64kb more i think.

And 256kb more, so i have 512kb memory mapper internal.

The powersuply dont work, after i replaced the big capasistor. The diskdrive connector have to be fixed, as its have been modified to run on standard 34pins drive. Need to solder a bit. And i have drawn some direct lines from the mainboard too, cause of broken lines in the connector on the board.

I am sure if nothing computer have burned, then it will work after the power suply is fixed.

If we come so far it will come with a Panasonic 2+ case, since i lost the original case, and the original keyboard didn work, so it have a 2+ keyboard too. The original keyboard you will get too, but the keyboard film are broken, so you can actually take the film from the 2+ keyboard.

Anyway any idea how much i can get for that one ?

It surely need some work, but i am sure the right person can get it back to work.

Let me have some offers, in case i cant fix it!

its possible to mail me at: cbpwr@hotmail.com

I still have a working ST mainboard around here. It's got 512kB RAM and 192kB VRAM. I had the same problem you had with the keyboard and ended up hooking up an old MSX1 keyboard. Later that keyboard broke too, so I just ended up buying a GT to get it over with. Anyhoo, the mainboard still works, and assuming your FDD, keyboard and main power-transformer are still working you could just plug it in and have a working ST again. We could of course also do this the other way around, I buy your ST case with PSU, FDD and keyboard. Either way is good for me!
