Looks nice and clean, always fancied one myself too.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Nice score, have never seen or heard of this machine before, maybe it did not make it to the Oz shores.

Does the Toshiba have any special goodies as the Yamaha ones did (they had synth built in etc.)?
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

Those are "filthy"...



Probably gives away who brainwashed me into getting one.
