One of my friends has a few Yamaha MSX2s for sale. Those machines were used in Russia for educational purposes. Used, but good condition, everything works. The machines come with the MIDI-based network module in the side slot.

The price is 220 Euro including the shipment to EU and this is a very good deal! For other regions please ask for the shipping price quote here.

I learned to program on one of these. I'd've loved to get one - if it was NTSC

It outputs NTSC. At least my Asus monitor detects NTSC when I connect it with RGB-SCART cable. The composite video is black and white. But we designed the video board that can generate color PAL or NTSC to S-Video and composite video outputs. This board is an opensource project and can be found in our repository. The computers have the original internals.

Can it run off 110V, or does it require a converter?

IIRC, that PSU can handle either 220 V or 100 V - you just have to connect input differently

Only 3 computers left in stock. Those are quite nice and rare machines and the price is quite nice for MSX2. The price includes shipment from Russia to EU. To US and Australia add 50$.
