ScuzzBlog: Diaries December 2017 Entry 05th December 2017: Post: 2 ML F48 - MSX giving me the old blank look The very dull looking Mitsubishi MSX ML-F48. Kinda so dull that after I spent an age photographing the thing it refused to work. Just gave me the old blank look.... Not surprised, I doubt I even switched the computer on when it arrived. I really have never been interested in the MSX. The various models are pretty much the same and probably reflect the dull boring world that Microsoft wanted. I do not want to paint too derogatory a picture of these computers for in truth they were very effective. Problem was, as with this one.... it was really just dull as soup. Grown-ups making a kids machine. Computing should be fun first and then dull second. Anyway the beast didn't work. Just the grey screen of death. Not completely busted but needs a bag load of capacitors and a wealth of electrical knowledge to fix. Beyond me. Just to refresh my MSX desires I plugged in a Toshiba... and blow me the space bar was busted. Not my day. Think I'm done with the MSX for a while. Mitsubishi MSX ML-F48 Made in Japan in 1983 with Microsoft Extended BASIC MSX Basic v1.0 Keyboard is a QWERTY mechanical The CPU is a Z80 running at 3.6Mhz RAM is 32KB on this model ( VRAM 16KB ) ROM is 32KB The unit has 16 colours, tape recorder input and cartridge slot for games. Current status - BUSTED. Never mind. The ML-F48 - Dull as soup Nothing - Zero - Nowt - Furked Switches on the Toshiba to make me feel better .... And discover no SPACE bar working I just have to fix this.. Next post The equally dull ML F80
