Tokyo Retro Computer Users



We met up for a 52nd time in our usual place. Sean brought two things with two missions in mind: a modest collection of X1 D 3" games for dumping, and a Hitachi MB-H3 (an MSX2 computer) for repairing the P and @ keys. It seems half the meetup members threw in their hands to help with the P and @ keys, and in the end, we got the P key working! The MB-H3 is notable for having handwriting recognition, which, while a little quirky, actually works pretty well.



Tom hauled in a boatload of MSX games along with an MSX computer for some unusual gaming.



Saburo and Joseph worked together on dumping the X1 D games. Saburo took on the tedious task of wiping mold off of most of the disks. in the end, all games could be dumped except Dig Dug, even though the game works fine on a real X1 D.



Curt, Andy, and David were among those who worked on the MSX2 machine with its wonky keys. In the end, the big win was Andy running a wire to bridge two points that fell victim to corrosion.



Speaking of David, he brought in a self-professed "beta" version of a ZX80 replica.



Greg took in his TK-85 which spent its time sitting on a remote desk. But he also brought in an MSX with a couple of new games, and a joystick in need of repair. He also brought in a book scanner and undertook the job of scanning the Tomy Pyuta manual. New member Daniel spent some time checking out the activities.



Sven spent most of his time socializing and photographing the proceedings instead of actual work, but he did manage to track down the pin assignment for a DVI to HDMI adapter for his Amiga 1200 flicker fixer.
