| By ro on October 29 2006, 20:11 | Sold mine to buy another, which I sold and bought another etc. I've been upgrading a few times.
VG8020 -> VG8235 -> HB700-D -> Turbo R (I do still own that one)

| By Samor on October 29 2006, 23:12 | sold it (nms8250).
then later, emulators got me back into MSX up to the point where I bought several others, of which one is left...which is also a 8250, albeit a modified one.

| By Prodatron on October 30 2006, 00:56 | Cool, I still have my first MSX computer, and with the exception of the disc drive it's working!  Well, TBH I bought it (8235) only 1,5 years ago, but it IS my first one

| By Hydlide on October 30 2006, 09:23 | I still have my FC-200 Goldstar. I will not get rid of that ever. a year ago, it still worked, haven't checked since though.

| By Poltergeist on October 30 2006, 09:30 | Yes, I still own my first MSX computer. That trusty old VG-8235 is already 20 years old, and it's still working. However, it's not very original anymore: doublesided drive, 256 KB RAM (+128 KB VRAM), MSX2+, and it's some kind of greenish yellow (don't ask). It once was not working anymore. My brother in law removed a condensator, and now it's working perfectly (without the condensator)

Hooray for that!. The HB75P it's a wonderful machine (even with their crappy cursors)!. Mine it's more than 20 years old and still working fine

| By manuel on October 31 2006, 19:24 | Still got the 8020 my dad bought in his attic... Still got the HB-G900P we bought after that here. And still got my GT here as well. So, all machines I really used are still here

| By dvik on October 31 2006, 22:42 | Still got my first MSX, a CX5M. Everything except the video/tv output is working. Without a picture its not that fun to use though. I hope to repair it eventually.

| By djh1697 on October 31 2006, 23:02 | My first MSX was a Goldstar FC200, I blew it up by inserting a Disk Drive ROM into incorrectly (don't ask me how!!)
Still it was soon replaced by a Sony HB75, the disk drive also survived - all was not lost!

| By Patsie on November 05 2006, 15:36 | I started out with a 8020, later bought a wavy70FD (2+). The only 60Hz capable TV we got back then was my parents. So I got creative and (without removing it from the 8020) hotwired the TV modulator to the wavy70FD (young and reckless ) after a couple of moves some wires got crossed and fried the modulator of the 8020. The cursor keys were also pretty wrecked for playing al the hyper and olympic sports So I tossed it.
