{Thanks again to @JamiesHackShack for his "Super Thanks" that helped pay for this machine}

The MO6 is the successor to the MO5, using the same 6809E CPU but with 128KBytes of memory and better graphics. It also a built-in cassette recorder, and obviously better keyboard.

It has an enhanced version of Microsoft BASIC as well as the original MO5's version. It has the same light pen interface (crayon optique/stylo lumineux) as the MO5 but it can also be used for a mouse (souris).

To load software I'm going to build an SDDRIVE board but in the meantime, I wonder if it's possible to pipe in audio (i.e. WAV file playing on my computer) via the cassette recorder, similar to how we do it on the Amstrad CPC464 ... ?

I've ordered some PCBs for new hardware such as a 512KByte RAM expansion and SDDRIVE.

Lots of useful information, including modern hardware projects (in French):

I couldn't find the Gerber files for the latest iteration of SDDRIVE on DCMOTO so I asked on the relevant "[Thomson] SDDRIVE" forum thread and its designer (Daniel) posted them pretty quickly:
