Spectravideo MSX SVI 728.

What is it? A complete computer? Anyway, it looks like it is in good condition.

Yes it's one of the avalanche of home computers that hit us in the 80's

MSX was an attempt to "standardise" computers in the 80s (like the PC architecture is now the standard). Anyone could make an MSX compatible computer, hence loads of MSX.

I always wanted an MSX computer because you could get an interface that linked them to a databack for a Canon T90 camera. I eventually got one of the databacks, but never did find an MSX. Of course it's* totally redundant now compared to what digital SLRs can do.

(* the databack)

I see various types of MSX computers quite often at auction sites. Some of them have quite good-looking keyboards.
I like the blue/grey colour scheme on SpectraVideo's keyboard, but is it any good to type on?
