Let’s Build Our Own Omega MSX 2 Computer – Part 1- Getting Started

Some members of the MSX community have designed an open source MSX 2 computer called the Omega, that can be assembled using reasonably easy to get components, along with a set of PCB’s.
Being a MSX fanatic and not afraid of a bit of soldering, I of course wanted to build one for myself and perhaps for some of my local mates.
PCBWay agreed to supply some boards sets for me to do a video series building the system, one of which I will be giving away in a competition during the series.
So this episode we have a bit of an intro explaining the project, and we get started with the single diode on the mainboard and the 1st lot of resistors.

If you want to order your own set of boards, just use the files in the open source project and send them to PCBWay here:
