Re: My MSX Machine...
Creating a Z180 CPU accelerator, maybe?
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

@terriblefire I got the same one. A nice solid unit. A Casduino is handy for loading tapes. But then there is a whole host of ROM cart upgrades (I don't have any). Shame most games seem to be Spectrum ports. Antarctic Adventure looks very good - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSzQI1Raf0s
I built a Casduino, but now the ready made prices are very good:

Regarding the Space key, I had a key that stopped working. Seems a common problem with dirty contacts so your Space bar might be the same. The keys are soldered in, but easy to remove, then you just clean the contact and solder it back in. I think my key was one used for loading so I think I also swapped it for a key which is not used much.
