Yay to Latok about posting the news. He must be tired now ^_^.

As for distribution: Bazix is indeed to distribute the OCM outside Japan. Pre-ordering in both Japan and outside has not begun as of yet, so a little more patience please! There might be some other surprises coming up....

You could always throw away your TurboR PCB and replace it with the OCM PCB >
ps: I like the casing it's in.

I like the casing a lot as well (of couse, I'm not the post objective person to ask). And the size! It's about the same size as a double-DVD (jewel)casing. As the Japanese site states: the most compact MSX computer to date!

This whole OCM thing is a superb news to the MSX community. MSX is NOT dead! Now you can say it with no doubt.
Yeah, the casing is just modern look. Nothing bad about it. Actually it makes it even cooler.

Gotta get one of those machines.

yep, and no system has been rerealeased properly like this, and I don't count c64 in a joystick !
I personally think having 2 good old cartridge slots is a great statement too, apart from updating
the little fella with VGA and svhs (niiiice), flashcard and usb.
I think with a small lcd screen like the ones for the gamecube, and some batteries you could maybe
even do some portable gaming in the train haha !

This is a pretty cool doodad. And they're even going to include a manual and some VHDL source!?

Now, how do I get one in the USA?
