I've had a bit of a hankering for some Terminus and Manic Miner the proper way, so I've hooked up my Goldstar FC-200 MSX1 up to a tape player, with the composite output via an SGI O2.
The problem is that when you plug the composite input in there's only one frozen washed out image instead of a moving screen. This looks to be a generic issue with SGI O2 boxes and old computers (the Amiga 1200 and Commodore 64 caused the same problem to another user) and a 'sloppy sync' was blamed.
Any suggestions how to fix this?
Also, the FC-200 has both the main cartridge slot and an expansion port - is the expansion port usable for anything useful/are there pinouts?
Cheers!

I had one of those long ago....
iirc : the slot on the back is a regular cartridge slot, just like the one on top (like most msx-es, it has 2 cartridge slots)

Presumably it's fairly easy to construct a converter to cartridge format, then, because the connectors aren't anywhere near the same?
