[enters the wall of shame by admitting he threw a NMS8245 away after more than 10 years of intensive use before breaking it down beyond repair]

Sold mine to buy another, which I sold and bought another etc. I've been upgrading a few times.
VG8020 -> VG8235 -> HB700-D -> Turbo R (I do still own that one)

sold it (nms8250).
then later, emulators got me back into MSX up to the point where I bought several others, of which one is left...which is also a 8250, albeit a modified one.

I'll never change my first MSX, a HitBit 75P, for ANYTHING on the whole world, including the best TurboMSX2+++

Cool, I still have my first MSX computer, and with the exception of the disc drive it's working! Well, TBH I bought it (8235) only 1,5 years ago, but it IS my first one

Yes, I still own my first MSX computer. That trusty old VG-8235 is already 20 years old, and it's still working. However, it's not very original anymore: doublesided drive, 256 KB RAM (+128 KB VRAM), MSX2+, and it's some kind of greenish yellow (don't ask). It once was not working anymore. My brother in law removed a condensator, and now it's working perfectly (without the condensator)

Still got the 8020 my dad bought in his attic... Still got the HB-G900P we bought after that here. And still got my GT here as well. So, all machines I really used are still here

Still got my first MSX, a CX5M. Everything except the video/tv output is working. Without a picture its not that fun to use though. I hope to repair it eventually.

My first MSX was a Goldstar FC200, I blew it up by inserting a Disk Drive ROM into incorrectly (don't ask me how!!)

Still it was soon replaced by a Sony HB75, the disk drive also survived - all was not lost!

I started out with a 8020, later bought a wavy70FD (2+). The only 60Hz capable TV we got back then was my parents. So I got creative and (without removing it from the 8020) hotwired the TV modulator to the wavy70FD (young and reckless ) after a couple of moves some wires got crossed and fried the modulator of the 8020. The cursor keys were also pretty wrecked for playing al the hyper and olympic sports So I tossed it.

OneChipMSX could be a nice replacement for my beloved MSX2 (Brazilian Gradiente's Expert MSX with a Carchano's MSX2 upgrade cartridge).
