Hi,

Has someone every seen a supposedly Sony HB-750 with built in CD-ROM player?

Does it exist as a prototype somewhere?

Here's a pic: http://www.funet.fi/pub/msx/photos/hardware/Sony_HB-750_with_CD-ROM_player.jpg

ANy info about it?

Hi

It is probably as common as this product?

Here is a picture : www.funet.fi/pub/msx/photos/hardware/Philips_NMS-0210_CD-ROM_interface.jpg

Does anyone have any info on this ?

No, the Philips one is more common, because it was once in the hands of Michel Shuqair, who posted about this on this forum... (nickname: ms).

If someone knows where the picture comes from (it was on the cover of a late MSX Mozaiek magazine) originally, please tell us also.

Indeed, it doesn't work

Does anyone have that 'Boris Becker receives 8240 with CD-ROM from Philips'-pic anywhere? I forgot on which site it's located...

Thanks to Google !

Thanks, I was a bit too lazy to do that. It's been a looong night you know ^_^. (hips)

But following the site, it should only be a VG-8235 ...

BTW, this is probably one of the rarest, if not THE rarest MSX computer ever (well, there's always the turboR XT ). I wonder if it's still lying around in Boris Becker's basement somewhere

You know the worst part? He probably threw it out with the garbage at some point

The Becker pic is also on FUNet...

What about this one:



It probably has this stuff connected:

Still.... There is no info about that Sony machine! The above (last 2) pics came from Michel Shuqair, AFAIK, he posted about it in this forum. But alas, nothing about the Sony...

What is so special about the VG-8240 ? Was it just a VG-8235-20 (v2.0 ?) with the external CD-ROM interface + case or something ?
Or was it a prototype for the NMS-8245 and had a DS-drive ?

No, single sided drive, but with super-impose, 2 scarts
