MSX2 in the UK?

JVC imported a few hundred MSX2 machines into the UK. Some dealers had stock of Sony & Philips MSX2 machines. I have a Sony MSX2, used to have a turboR, but had to sell it because I came on hard times. Having said that there is very little English language MSX2+ or TurboR software. eBay sometimes has some MSX2 machines, but they need importing from the EU. *IF* you do buy an MSX2 I would recommend the Carnivore 2 or MegaFlash SCC+SD cartridge. I tried both of them today on a Toshiba HX10, neither would boot correctly

Yes, the HC95 and HC80 are featured in the JVC price list from 1985/6. Their UK MSX man Peter Glas introduced them to the UK market, they where expensive and overpriced at the time. The June/July 1986 edition of MSX also features an article about the release.

The jvc article and prices are in the june/July msx computing magazine pg5. Also in may 1988 there was an outlet in Coventry selling a lot of Philips msx stuff.the nms8280 package was £977.50. I have the price list if you want it.

@djh1697: do you know by any chance if this MSX1 computer has ever been released, especially in the UK : https://www.msx.org/wiki/Hitachi_MB-H80 ?

It was announced in a few magazines, but the only one picture available on the net is very small and probably extracted from one of these magazines. I've never seen this machine on eBay, so I have doubts about its release.

I can't even recall any Hitachi MSX ever getting released in Europe at all... Did I miss something?
