The Sony HB-900AP. But the keyboard sucks (at least, now it does, when it worked it was a great keyboard)

I like the 700P the most as a gaming console (everything at the front), but my favourite MSX probably is my 8245 which I abused heavily in the early 90s.

the 8245 is a very neat MSX indeed. Everything about it is right.

My pimpin' TurboR ST ofcourse! It's design with the gold details is also classier than the GT's. And more pimpin' ofcourse

Stupid thing to die on me and stupid me to sell it instead of fixing it
- 7MHz (with LED display showing the actual speed)
- Dos2.something
- 512K
- 192K
- Novaxis SCSI 20+40MB
- Moonsound (256K) (built in/output on the back)
- FM-Pac (7MHz) (built in/output on the back)
- SCC (built in)
- Musicmodule (256K/7MHz) (built in/output on the back)
- Gouda Slotecpander on the bottom of the case containing the musicchips)
- A big Tweety painted on one of the sides

Ah well... Got a standard 8250 now, which is gonna rule in a while with just a Moonsound in one slot...

My dream machine would be a pimped CX5MII with 128K VRAM, 1MB RAM and V9958. I have the parts, but the idea of having to wiggle a soldering iron within the Yamaha rags my nerves

never quite understood the adjustable keyboard on the 8245...seems a bit pointless,changing an angle of 2 degrees

You mean on the 8235, the 8245 keyboard was fixed.
