Hello! I am an MSX newbie.
I've searched for other posts using the keyword 'newbie', but they consisted of questions that assume one already knows the hardware. Outside of knowing some of the more famous games released for the system, I am a complete newbie to the MSX world.
I want to purchase an MSX system. I saw two at a store in Osaka (I don't know the specifics; I'll post them when I go later today), but I didn't want to purchase one and not know what I was doing.
I've read some of the MSX FAQ on the net, but I still have some questions.
1) What cables should come with an MSX system?
2) I'm living in a dorm (in Japan) where I'm not allowed access to the communal television (awwww!). Can I use the MSX with any modern monitor, or will I need a specific type of monitor?
3) Since the MSX is a computer, can I access the internet with it? At what speed?
4) I read about Moonsound at the MSX FAQ, but still a little confused. Can any MSX use it, or only MSX2 and above?
5) I'm in Japan right now. If I wanted to take my MSX back to the states, I would need a voltage converter, right?
Thanks in advance!
