He has already been contacted by Manuel, read the bottom of my other mail.

Boah.

I do not really care about that (I do not want to run Basic soft but games
and program new stuff myself), but alas... if you want it... I think the ROM
is about 25 guilders extra cost...
Games checking for MSX 2+ using the ROM instead of the VDP ID can easily be
patched to check for the VDP or not to check at all.

It appears the 8280 is the most expensive machine to be converted.

Quite

I don't see the use of switching back... ???
Only makes it more expensive...
