Our founder Sander had made a discovery on his excursions through the annals of the Internet, which lets us retrace the history of MSX in the Netherlands.
The Dutch archive Delpher contains more than 100 million scanned pages of mostly newspapers but also some books and magazines. This project is driven by the Royal Dutch Library.
Of course he did, what every MSX lover would do, he typed in MSX and MSX2.
And a wealth of information pops-up: Reports about the legal fight between HsH and Sparrowsoft over ASCII products, Lots of reports/reviews on games, new MSX computers, and adverts by for example Dixons for an NMS 8250, Vroom & Dreesmann and Byte, etc.
Mostly concentrated in two newspapers from Groningen and Friesland (papers we didn't know the existed back then). Frequents writers pop up like Rob Timmer and countless articles on current events over the years.
We wish you a lot of fun with this time travel!
