Technical spec is similar with OCM. Just a little bit different.
This one has Scanline generator and Speaker amp with speaker inside.

For more details on the tech specs of the One Chip MSX see here and here. Generally speaking, it is an MSX2+ with 10MHz CPU and built-in SD interface.

The One Chip MSX has some MSX compatibility problems but overall it works fine, and it gets better all the time thanks to the hard work of KdL & co.

Note that if you look at the pictures it has 1 cartridge slot. For a second slot you probably need some kind of adapter.

Also a few posts ago mygoddess said to contact by mail if you’re interested:

In my opinion also ram is different with 4mb instead of 1mb of the ocm.
so.
how many slots totally? which kind of adapter for the 2nd slot? ram? which video output? vga? hdmi? ntsc, secam or pal? which max resolution? which keyboard layouts available? is sd drive included? is a floppy emulation or a ide emulation? what are the compatibility issue? many or more or different from ocm?

i think that are reasonable questions.

OCM with latest KdL firmware has 2 MB RAM and can be switched to 4 MB using a DIP switch. It’s the same.

@mygodess Can IQ3000 owners install KdL’s Zemmix Neo firmware builds, or is a separate build required?

@Grauw
It needs separate build for the keyboard issue.
I just disabled numlock key because miniIQ does not have num keys

@mygodess
mail sent. I'm interested in.
Let me know and congratulations for your fantastic job.

PS: Has your IQ3000 a kind of .DSK launcher similar to the .ROM launcher we see in the videos?

@giuseve
There is dsk launcher named ZLoader. (ZLoader supports rom files and also dsk (Multi disk also) files)
ZLoader is just for OCM compatible hardware cause Zemmix Neo, MiniIQ kinds of hardware could use it.
