I know I said I wouldn't buy any more computers but when this genuine Japanese MSX SONY HiT BiT in it's box came on the Bay I just couldn't resist. It was one thing to have a European version of the MSX machine but to have one with a Japanese keyboard , well that was too good to pass up. I truly love this computer and already have three I believe. I certainly didn't need another. But, I didn't have the box and I certainly didn't have a Japanese keyboard from the country of origin no less. This is a magical find and I feel very lucky. Anyhoo, unless you're mad as a hatter and have the resources that lets you buy such things, well, you probably won't understand. There is really nothing more to add other than I haven't powered her up cus she needs a stepper on the power supply. For now she just sits pretty as the pleasant face on the box. One aspect that adds to the authenticity of the machine is the Japanese writing on the box.
