Nah you got it all wrong. The correct TV buying process these days:

-meticulously research TVs and specs for a month
-wait a few months till THAT TV hits the shops, or becomes available at the correct price point
-go pick it up with your wife
-leave the store with the one your wife chooses because "it looks beautiful".

You victim! There's no chance of saving you at this point. Your mistake: step 3 "go pick it up with your wife"!! Seriously?

Oh you mean "you can't have too much home around your TV"?

When you walk into a TV shop and say "I'm looking for a 75in LCD TV, but it has to have analogue inputs and SCART.", you know you still have that Retro addiction.

Guess what, your invaluable advice about the on/off switch was spot on! After what must be over 40 years of water bursts, engines and gearboxes oils, many drops from heights the flipsing thing still works! Those who said it was durable were not kidding, thanks Guys! Now to the recovery of data, I have 9 disks, only one side of one coming up with errors, read the bible and reminded how to start cpm, made a directory of whats on the 9 disks (photo'd the screen) and next session have to remember how to load up my supercalc 2 files, how to connect my dmp2000 or HP4L printers....I'm like a kid at christmas LOL!

Amstrad CPC hardware / Re: MultiPlay MX4 Expansion

The concept was to be able to run 2-player games with gamepad or mouse on the same controller port, like the Amiga does. Expecting that some games like Lemmings, Shufflepuck Cafe, North & South will be early patched.

It was first designed for Megablasters to have no input conflict when running at 50Hz.

I use my 6128 Plus (equipped with a Gotek) to gorge on the Smörgåsbord of programs available at CPCPOWER & CPCRulez.
One or two of these programs end up as YT videos.
I also have a 6128 to check programs that won't Run on the Plus.
