deKay Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 RIGHT, you've asked for it!! [ATTACH=CONFIG]41516[/ATTACH] Hmm. I don't own one of these! I thought it might be a KayPro, but I don't think it is.
Dos_Box Posted February 10, 2017 Author Posted February 10, 2017 Hmm. I don't own one of these! I thought it might be a KayPro, but I don't think it is. Nope, it was quite well promoted at the time but a commercial flop.
Dos_Box Posted February 10, 2017 Author Posted February 10, 2017 Another clue then (although this might make it too easy!):
Norphy Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Ok.... [ATTACH=CONFIG]41517[/ATTACH] Is it a NeXT cube? /edit Bah, that'll teach me not to check the next page! 1
jinnantonnixx Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 That's an MSX, but I can't remember which one. Not a Yamaha. A bit unusual to have a built-in stick of joy.

Dos_Box Posted February 10, 2017 Author Posted February 10, 2017 Oooh, not a Spectravideo unit was it? Nope, a couple more guesses and I'll put you out of you misery
synaesthesia Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 The keys look familiar, almost like the old Sinclair (probably the QL im thinking of) but the joystick throws me. Not a Sinclair clone was it? Quite a few of those back in the day.
Dos_Box Posted February 10, 2017 Author Posted February 10, 2017 I WIN!! It was an Enterprise (they came in 64 and 128KB versions). A huge spec for the time but expensive and undercut by the Amstard CPC range. It flopped horribly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_(computer)
Gibbo Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Rats, only just logged in and saw that and knew exactly what it was!
MrEprise Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Something really obscure here... [ATTACH=CONFIG]41523[/ATTACH] Well, based on the name embossed on the front which my search was based on, it is the Batong Sunsonic BT-686 Multimedia Computer which is a Famicom (NES) clone but looks to also be an IBM-compatible PC in much the same way as the Amstrad Mega-PC is to Sega's Mega Drive. 1
bald_pig Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Something for the weekend sir? [ATTACH=CONFIG]41528[/ATTACH] Minidisk player?
Dos_Box Posted February 10, 2017 Author Posted February 10, 2017 Minidisk player? Nope, right era though.
RichCowell Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Something for the weekend sir? [ATTACH=CONFIG]41528[/ATTACH] It's an MP3 player, but I can't for the life of me say which... I remember looking at that when I was choosing my first one many moons ago... though I opted for this beast, which knocked the socks off iPods or anything anyone else was doing...
Dos_Box Posted February 10, 2017 Author Posted February 10, 2017 Archos? Nope. Chances are you'll have never heard of the brand. It's quite an important machine though.
RichCowell Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Archos? Mine was Archos, yes... It had a mic as well, so doubled as a dictaphone too, and a reasonably good one... and was better (apart from the size) than anything else that was around for quite a while after... I'm sure I've still got it somewhere...
Dos_Box Posted February 10, 2017 Author Posted February 10, 2017 Well, I have to go now so I'll put you all out of your guessing. It's a MPMan F10 made by Saehan of Korea, the worlds first portable MP3 player with a whole 32MB of storage! https://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/03/10/ft_first_mp3_player/ 1
DJ-1701 Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Here's one for you... @elsiegee40 may know this one, she certainly remembers their slogan.
mikeprice Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Is it a PET I used something like that at uni when Moses was a lad
