I sent a few messages to people who previously expressed interest in Flex, but didn't get a reply. So I am announcing that I am selling the remaining units to anyone who wants them.
I have 1 ready white set and 1 ready black set with engraving. Also I have the boards for 2 additional sets. Those 2 sets could be sold either with cases or without them (which is much cheaper). Please send me an e-mail if you are interested. First come - first served.
I expressed interest previously but didn't receive your mail indeed. Maybe it ended up in the spambox. I did send you an email today to order one (Martin).
I currently have one black and engraved set ready. The remaining 2 sets are getting their cases printed in white now. Please contact me if you want any of those FLEX sets. Those 3 are the last ones and I don't plan to produce more.
Good friend alexey, I have a msx1 sony hb 55 japanese model and I would like to use the second slot. I also have msx1 yamaha cx7 / 128 version azerty and msx2 yamaha cx5mII japanese version and I would like to use the third slot that is currently for the sg-05. You can use your flex prototypes for this purpose. If so, I am interested, what is the price along with the shipping, my email moronmatas@hotmail.com. Thanks for all your projects. :)
The FLEX extends the existing standard 50-pin slot into the 50 or 60-pin slot. In some cases FLEX can be used to extend the MSX bus expansion if it is pin-to-pin compatible. I am not sure how the second slot on HB-55 looks like. I will check this tonight.
If you want to use the internal Yamaha's 60-pin slot for the standard cartridges, you need another device:
I checked the pinout of HB-55 (Japanese model) in MSX Wiki and it seems to be identical to the pinout of the standard MSX slot. So FLEX should be compatible with HB-55's expansion connector. However, you will need to remove the key on the IDC connector in order to be able to use FLEX with HB-55. So if you need FLEX, please send me a PM.
I decided not to print the cases for the last FLEX set. This is for someone who could print his own cases. This way the full set is twice cheaper. So far available are:
- full black set with RBSC engraving (79 Euro) SOLD
- full white set (69 Euro) SOLD
- full set without cases (39 Euro) SOLD
The shipment is 7 Euro to any country, with tracking number.
Has anyone built the cable to use FLEX with Daewoo machines? I have a CPC-300E and I think the connector has a swapped pinout compared to others but I'm not certain
Failing that, is there any other device to convert this Daewoo expansion slot into a usable MSX slot?
