In Brazil there were:
- Expert 1.0 (detachable kbd)
- Expert 1.1 (same, different ROM)
- Expert Plus (same, but black, different - Expert DDPlus (same as plus, but with internal
floppy drive)
- Hotbit 1.0 (white and gray)
- Hotbit 1.1 (same, different ROM)
- Hotbit "1.2" (black, but everything the same
as 1.0)
They are somewhat common in argentina, but I
don't know about mexico.
Ask me if you want to know something else

Almost all of them. Experts are very easy to spot here in pawn shops and
"ferros velhos" (place where you sell scrap metal). Hotbits are more scarce
but no one likes it, it is too easy to break, the internal PCBs are too
fragile and almost all MSX hobbist likes to open his puter to mess around.
Take a look at http://www.tabajara-labs.com.br and http://www.msxpro.com
(both in portuguese but you can at least take a look at the figures, or use
babelfish). There are many interesting photos of MSX.
About my "collection", I have:
- Some expert 1.0
- Some expert 1.1
- one Expert Plus
- One expert DDPlus with pc power supply, floppy drive/controller,
megaRAM, SCC chip, 2+ kit, 256K memory mapper and lots of small mods
- Some hotbit (white model, 1.0/1.1)
- NO black hotbits :(
- Panasonic A1-WSX (2+, great puter)
- Philips VG8235 (2.0)
And lots of other brazilian puters non-related to MSX
