I really hope they will produce the western OCM though. There is a big interest so it would be a shame if they didn't. Hopefully the RoHS issues aren't too big.
What stops you from wanting/getting a Japanese one?
Actually I prefer a Japanese one since I live in the US.
In any case I am glad, that the "Western Edition" still isn't called to be dead (I was already afraid about). I just wonder, if during this year we will see cheaper solutions for a FPGA-based MSX. Of course I won't cancel my two orders for the Bazix OCM. But I am thinking now about buying a Japanese one. Are these still available?
This is really piss*ng off
Am I the only one who doesn't care the color of the case?
Japanese version is very good for me: ac adaptor is an universal 110-220v and does it work fine for all countries.
For me RoSH introduce only a commercial shield for Europe to reduce import of electronic products: no real benefit for the pollution!!
I've just read *carefully* the email from Bazix. They have been very clear. The wait is killing me but I have decided that I will buy the edition for the western market (I'm tired of users manuals in Japanese ).
disappointing :-(
how can one buy a Japanese version and get it shipped internationally?
Last news I heard was that the Japanese version was nearly sold out. So it could be sold out by now. Which may have something to do with reserving some of the new batch for a Japanese "special edition".
I've received the same newsletter, so let's hope it is being produced in the end! The transparend blue was good enough so I am intrigate now with the new one.
I agree with you. Let's hope!
