Hi

It is probably as common as this product?

Here is a picture : www.funet.fi/pub/msx/photos/hardware/Philips_NMS-0210_CD-ROM_interface.jpg

Does anyone have any info on this ?

No, the Philips one is more common, because it was once in the hands of Michel Shuqair, who posted about this on this forum... (nickname: ms).

If someone knows where the picture comes from (it was on the cover of a late MSX Mozaiek magazine) originally, please tell us also.

But following the site, it should only be a VG-8235 ...

BTW, this is probably one of the rarest, if not THE rarest MSX computer ever (well, there's always the turboR XT Tongue). I wonder if it's still lying around in Boris Becker's basement somewhere Wink
