I was the UK's only TurboR GT owner at one time, no more MSX now though

The Retro Computer club is leicestershire, they regually have "retro" shows, this includes a lot of none MSX machines, but they do have a TurboR ST in there collection.

came on bad times and sold it
love the emulation thing though!

I had a TurboR GT, Sunrise CF, MegaSCC, FMPAC, i had a Sanyo lightpen, but it was a UK model could never get it to work on the TurboR.

I'm from the UK, and own a Turbo-R ST (albiet without working PCM at the moment)

Also have a MegaFR-SD, OPL4 Shockwave, V9990 Powergraph.

Used to have a Toshiba MSX1 in my teens, and got back into all things MSX a couple of years ago.

Where are you based Colemu ? I am in Leicester
If I win the lottery maybe I will get back into MSX. My joy and pleasure at the moment is HiFi

I live a few hours away in the North East mate, Hartlepool.

Yeh, it's expensive! And this old hardware is a pain sometimes. Very rewarding though

I'm also into X68000, and am in the process of trying to fix my Ace HD....

You were the UK's only TurboR GT owner at one time? What a claim to make! How did you come to this conclusion? What evidence was there to back it up? As for having to win the lottery to get back into MSX, what about Bas and Ditta's site http://www.bas-ditta.info/verkoopenlinks/hardware%20engels.htm , with prices for MSX starting at €45?
