OMEGA MSX COMPUTER : FIRST START

As I mentioned in my previous post, this computer is not very difficult to assemble for those who have decent experience in this type of work. In fact, the hardest part is getting all the components. At one point, we still come to the end of this quest:

The 'only' component that is missing is the battery. But Cbios (MSX compatible) can do without it. The first start using a laboratory power supply with controlled intensity allowed me to avoid the 'magic smoke'!

And voilà :

The message is clear, the system is now waiting for an application cartridge. Note that I did not mount the keyboard proposed by the designer of this system. Standard USB keyboards are much less expensive. I intend instead to develop an interface allowing the use of a commercial keyboard on this computer.

There is therefore still a little work to be done to be able to use this MSX computer in a comfortable way, but the basic system is operational. This is a very good start. Well done to the designer of this Omega!
