Recently, I bought an old version MT-32 from an online second-hand market in a certain big country. The firmware is 1.07, and including shipping, it cost about $224, which seems relatively cheap by today’s standards, right?
I tested this MT-32 with DOS games, and so far, everything seems to be working fine, but there’s a major issue:
this MT-32 might have been heavily modified hardware-wise, possibly to fit into a server rack. The label on the back says "Property of Lehigh University" and the front panel has been embedded into a large metal plate. I’m not even sure if the outer metal shells on the left and right sides are original, and the sides near the panel have been bent at a 90-degree angle and welded shut onto that big metal plate.
I recorded a video, which might give everyone a clearer view: https://youtube.com/shorts/JNHf55RpgiI?feature=share
Now I’m racking my brain over how to restore it to its normal state...
