Lets Build Our Own Omega MSX 2 Computer - New Build Series Teaser
36Some members of the MSX community have designed an open source MSX 2 computer called the Omega, that can be assembled using reasonably easy to get components, along with a set of PCB's.
Being a MSX fanatic and not afraid of a bit of soldering, I of course wanted to build one for myself and perhaps for some of my local mates.
PCBWay agreed to supply some boards sets for me to do a video series building the system, one of which I will be giving away in a competition during the series.
There was a bit of wait for some of the components, due to shipping delays, but I am finally about to begin the process of filming the build and should have an introductory video, and the first few build videos available shortly.
