And where to get one from I live in Castlegar, British Columbia Canada.
Try American Ink (<http://www.americanink.com/> I believe); they carry
ribbons for a lot of older printers. (Ran across them while researching
one of the computers in my collection on the web, but have known of them
for years; very highly recommended in local Atari circles.)

I was looking through a store the other day and saw a Yamaha
CX5M (I think) Music Computer. It had an MSX in one corner so I
guess it was a child of that standard attempt. There was also a
MIDI module on it but no storage device, docs, etc. There is a port
for a monitor and one for a cassette drive but of course I wouldn't
know the pin outs to make a cable. Does anyone know anything
about this system or have any thing on it they could tell me? I'm
thinking about picking it up but haven't made up my mind yet.
Thanks.

This is a really neat system that came out in the mid-80s or so. It
combined a home computer with a music synthesizer. I have one with
external floppy and printer, plus a couple carthridges as well as the
music keyboard to make it a real synthesizer. I also got the manual. I
would suggest picking it up as you don't find many MSX machines to play
with in the States.

It's an early MIDI sequencer that came out right at the same time as the DX-7
synth did. It was, IIRC, designed to allow basic tracking and editing of
sequences.

Sorry. I just read the other postings about the Yammy box. I guess I've got too
many things stored in memory for the more obscure stuff to always be filed
accurately.
Guess it's time to defrag my brain.
