SOLD: MSX2+ Panasonic FS-A1FX computer (Price reduced again!)

[rolins]

Up for sale is a MSX2+ Panasonic FS-A1FX computer, all fixed and working great. - $130 shipped.

Price includes USPS Priority with tracking + insurance within US. Anyone is welcome to shoot offers too, price ain't set in stone here.

Also check out my CTCW auctions, I have a few MSX2 games for sale still - http://www.chasethechuckwagon.com/display.cgi?search=1&seller=rolins

I bought this MSX several weeks ago and the original disk drive and its mounting plate were missing. I didn't mind the missing drive, that's easy to replace but the mounting plate is a whole different story. Without a mounting plate there was no way of keeping a new floppy drive still, so I opted to mounted a 34pin IDC to back of the computer for connecting a PC floppy drive. I also restored +12V power to the system, by replacing the shot 78L12 voltage regulator. You can read more about that at the the MRC forum - http://www.msx.org/forumtopic9300.html

Included in this deal is the MSX2+ computer and a spare 34pin floppy cable. PC floppy drive and ATX power supply is not included. You'll have to supply that yourself.

PLEASE READ - Very important notes about this computer

-Mostly older PC floppy drives will be compatible like a Teac 235HF and Mitsumi D359M3 models. Looking for PC drives manufactured during 1998 and prior is a sure bet.

-Floppy drives requires external power. ATX power supply will do nicely.

-I installed a toggle switch next to the 34pin IDC. The switch changes pin6 (on the msx) to either pin34 or GND (on the pc drive). Whenever you boot your computer without a disk or cartridge, the computer will hang trying to read the floppy drive. When that happens just flip the toggle switch, or keeping a blank disk inside the drive all the time will do the trick too.

-A small piece of the plastic casing is chipped (see the photo below).

-This model doesn't have MSX-Music built-in, so purchasing a FM-Pac cartridge is recommended if you want that feature.
