which do you
own? Are they easy (whatever that means)
to find?
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
