Half of the screens in this video are fake.

By the way, of someone opens an MSX museum, we have YIS805 computer and original EIZO monitors (color and monochrome).

It's from some short film about schoolchildren. If I remember correctly, the Yamahas were not distributed in schools, only to universities and institutes. In schools we had mostly Russian-made computers.

Some schools had Yamahas. My school had a developer's version class of those -- each student's system was Yamaha YIS503IIIR [MSX2] each system had a FDD drive. Teacher's version was as usual YIS805.

We had two classes of Yamahas in my liceum in Kiev and i know for sure about another school in Cherkassy city - one of my liceum classmates was from such a school. Also i've heard that at least one school in Kharkiv had Yamaha class.

Hmm, didn't know about that. In our small town we never had Yamahas at schools.

Anyway, 3 machines are still available.

Actually, there are two Yamaha YIS805/128R available from the seller. But both are now in reserve.

Eleven Yamaha YIS503IIIR are still available. One of them, from the first batch, costs 150 Euro, others - 125 Euro. See the previous post for pricing info.

Ah, too bad that I've already bought Panasonic WSX this year
I've also started my programming career on КУВТs.

The price is very tempting for getting one more!

Get it while you can. Those could be one of the last Yamahas for the fair price in Russia. The MSX2 for 125 Euro is very cheap. Add Carnivore2 or EmuFDC cartridge and you will get a kickass usability with this computer.
