One day remaining and the price is still 8bit in USD! Well, only if you ignore the shipping though... https://www.ebay.com/itm/205353419213

I listed my (new+unopened) ZX Spectrum Next Accelerated Issue 2 on eBay as I have never even opened the box. Hopefully it will find an appreciative new home! https://www.ebay.com/itm/205353419213

I just listed a blue MSXVR Virtualizer on eBay. It's a one-week auction with the winning buyer paying shipping as calculated by eBay. The computer works well, I just have not been using it often enough to justify the space it needs. https://www.ebay.com/itm/205253167053
Blue MSXVR Virtualizer Computer w/box, manual, Leicke power supply & cables; MSX | eBay

This computer works well but I find I don't use it often enough to justify keeping it. I believe this blue case is a "special" color which is not currently available from the manufacturer. There are also emulators included for several other classic systems, including C64, Amstrad CPC, and others.

The runtime packaging tool also works using this Tape-loaded EXAS on mkII
I used Compac's PC-6001 type-in EXAS BASIC compiler from I/O magazine 1982-11 (errata in 1982-12) and runtime package (in 1983-02). I added a compiled+packaged loader to make a version of the EXAS compiler that runs on mkII/6601 in Mode 2, Pages 2 with no cartridge - it uses back RAM instead. It was compiled using type-in EXAS virtual ROM, then packaged+saved as P6, plus 35 non-zero padding bytes, EXAS lower 4K+upper 4K, and some padding zero bytes. ごかん ROM works for this too
I tweeted about getting NEC PC-6001 mk2 Tiny Xevious mk2 running on #MSX0 using Tiny-Yarou's amazing conversion tool https://www.tiny-yarou.com/msx2p6_txev2.html https://x.com/bsittler/status/1850403145299685457
P6のタイニーゼビウスmkIIをMSXで動かすチャレンジ

The compiler is distributed as two 4KB ROM IC's that plug into the two 8KB ROM sockets on the PC-6006 cartridge. For this reason, each one is mirrored twice in the address space from 0x4000..0x7FFF in the pattern [IC 1] [IC 1] [IC 2] [IC 2]
here's a short video of WonderSoft COMPAC's "EXAS" BASIC Compiler in action on a real PC-6001, speeding up PRINT considerably. apologies for the slow typing, the ROM ZIF sockets on my PC-6006 RAM/ROM cartridge don't make good contact so I used my other hand to hold both IC's down
If you have a Casio PV-2000 maybe you would like to transplant your ROM cartridges to a modern PC. If you have the CMT I/F adapter and will take the electrical risks of hot-insertion, send the ROM over as audio embedded in a large number of BASIC saves. You first boot the system into C83-BASIC with no cartridge inserted, then insert the cartridge. If that crashes/freezes your computer, try again. Once you succeed...
