Please don't hurt your cx5m! Keep it original and get a real MSX2 with diskdrive instead. You can use the soundmodule with any MSX you like, just get an adapter for it. I also have one together with a version 1 soundmodule and it works fine in a Philips 8250 MSX2. Oh and please remember that a diskdrive isn't very helpfull with the v1 soundmodule... the program in it can't use a diskdrive.

Hi! comp.sys.msx seems to be slowing down so I am trying this group instead! I've got two CX5MII/128s, one of which I use for music (basslines and such, mostly) - I've got Music Composer II, the built in FM Voicing app, a YK-20 keyboard and erm, Galaga! My spare machine has a YK-01 and the built-in minicartridge. I'm thinking about the MSX2 upgrade (CX7) but can't find info about the ROMs, only the memory. There's also no information on making the battery-backed clock. I'm also looking for a disk drive to save sequences/data - preferably a Yamaha FD-05 or 03 with interface, though any MSX drive should work in theory. I'll swap my spare CX5MII/128 for one, or I'll buy one! Finally, I'm also looking for any Yamaha applications on disk or cartridge and a set of English manuals including the Music Composer II manual. I have the FM Voicing II manual, but it's with the YRM-502 cartridge which is redundant since this CX5M already has it on the mini cartridge. I'll swap the boxed YRM-502 (with manual) for any other YRM- 5XX or YRM-3XX apart from the Music Composer. (I'll also swap the CX5MII/128 for a Sony or similar MSX2 with the separate diskdrive/CPU unit - I believe I can make the SFG module work with other machines?)
