I'm in Vancouver, British Columbia, where the olympics just were. I am in
the process of getting those machines you listed, I am actually trying to
get a complete collection of every micro that was remotely popular. I also
have many more not on the list like I said, I just picked many of the
interesting pieces. I have been told that I am quite probably the only
person in North America with an X68000 XVI and an MSX Turbo-R in their
collection!

Thank you! I do plan on adding a Non-Amstrad Spectrum to the batch, but I
have already fixed the sound issue though. I do plenty of hardware modding
myself, so it was no issue whatsoever to fix the problem!

Would you be willing to part with them? I could use them for my museum. How
much would you want for them?
