KOJRO Retro innovations | Building a NEW 8-BIT MSX machine in 2023 – Closing in on the last mile with some improvising. @kojroRI | Uploaded January 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
I have had this PCB laying around for quite some time, and I have been looking forward to do the actual build. This time we populate the keyboard with keycaps, we place and solder inn all of the last parts. Lots and lots of soldering.The design of this is called the Omega MSX2, and is done by Sergey Kiselev. I have done some other projects by him. Among others the Micro 8088, The ISA disk and serial controller, the ISA super VGA, and the XT-CF-Lite. This was well before my YouTube days. In this first installment we did go through the BOM, the PCB, and starts populating the board. As always I try to give some advice along the way. The first episode started with the name "The Omega MSX2 computer build. Off to an easy start" but I was convinced to make it more snappy. This is the second part, and this part also contains some useful info about why your caps fail, and why it’s not always a good idea to change them. github.com/skiselev malinov.com/Home/sergeys-projects msx.org/news/development/en/omega-a-new-msx2-compatible-computer-in-development #MSX #KitComputer #RetroComputers #msx2
