YOU BOUGHT AN MSX!!! 

Finally! Someone who bit the bullet. I want to get one of these machines too, but will be going for the MSX2.

Yes , I have a Toshiba HX-10, and it is in stunning condition , Has boxed MSX joystick , but sadly no data recorder. It looks and feels very well built . Do not have any Cartridges yet , and they seem to go for a pretty penny , so I expect Tapes will be my route. The manual is plush and I am going to go through the Basic programming guides. I  am desperately searching for a data recorder that I can link up. But it is proving difficult . I am dying to try out the few software tapes I got with it ,Hunchback, And some MSX Welcome pack Demo tapes , a learn Basic programme which hopefully isn't too basic .
