I looked around a bit on the wiki and forums, but didn't see any mention of this uMSX FPGA-based MSX2+ system, currently being sold on AliExpress for ¥28,292, which isn't too bad a price.

It's still a little expensive for my cheap collecting tastes, but I'm curious if anybody has any opinions on it, and perhaps links back to the original developers.

Here are some images of it, though I don't know how long they'll be hosted at these addresses.

Looks cool with those transparent MSX and "data recorder". When will you build you transparent monitor case?

On the one from Aliexpress, they covered the "Commercial Distribution Not Allowed" notice on the PCB with some stickers...

With that price, is better to get a SX1. Is virtually the same and cheaper

Hi capsule5000!
One question from my ignorance, does the extended board allow to have two db9 ports?
