Most of us will know that the Russian space station MIR contained a Sony MSX2 that was used for research. I'm wondering... were there more MSX computers used at important spots? I heard rumors of Studio Sport (dutch TV program) used Philips NMS8280 computers for superimposing in the early days...

Wasn't there a story in an old MCM about the 'Haarlem Basketball Week' using Sony MSX2-computers for superimposing and stuff?

Hmmmm, rare MSX2-machines......My Philips VG8235 prototype with handwritten labels on all the chips etc. etc.

You should make some pics of that 8235 one day, Latok

Come on, there must be more famous MSX computers in the world. How about the 8235/8240 Boris Becker received, the Philips CD-ROM prototypes....who's next?

Yeah, wonder what BoemBoem Becker did with that machine. Probably burnt it ritually. 'Ich liebe nur mein 64-er!!'

Or the MSX computer(s) Chriet Titulaer used in the Dutch technology programme "Wondere Wereld"... I guess there were more MSX things presented on it than just the Music Module.

I hung mine out of the top window in the house one time because it wouldn't load a game (I'm glad we don't use tape these days), at least 10 passers by saw it..... does that count?

Now I think of it though, our house was some distance from the pavement, and I'm not sure if they could see the MSX logo

(It was my Canon V-20, and it's the reason the power cord at the back of the machine has a tear in it)
