KOJRO Retro innovations | Building a NEW 8-BIT MSX machine in 2023 – We look at the Keyboard @kojroRI | Uploaded January 2023 | Updated October 2024, 16 minutes 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 a bunch of clicky keys from my parts bin. 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.
