My favorite: Gradiente Expert DD Plus

Why? Becuase it's rare in Europe and because it looks like a VCR. :)

Since the moment I have it, it's my trustworthy Panasonic FS-A1ST MSX turboR. Never let me down for one second.

Huh, the FS-A1ST ain't MSX1 ??

(my fave comp too btw.. atleast it's not as ugly as the GT version)
My first MSX1 was a vg8020, but is it my fave? dunno. prolly for nostalgic reasons it will.

I like my Yashica YC-64, because of the nice matte red colour

umm...D-Tail you're suppose to list a MSX-1.Aww, I misread the topic title. While that may be obvious already, please let me correct my mistake: my all-time favourite MSX1 is the Sony HB75P. I have one, with the HBD50 expansion drive ($imple $ided! [tm]) & interface. The keyboard is so damn cool. No PC keyboard even nears it. As with everything: there are some minor issues. I don't get HOW Sony could have come up with those tip-keys for function and cursor keys while the rest looks so professional :-\...

My first and only MSX1 was a Mitsubishi ML-FX1. It has one great advantage over my MSX2 (a VG-8235): its keyboard. Not only does it have a separate numeric part, the keys also feel a lot better when pressed. The thing still works perfectly. If I had a floppy drive for it, I'm sure I would play all my MSX1 games on that machine.

Unfortunately I never owned one, but for me the SVI-738 is probably one of the coolest MSX1 computers ever made...
