awesome setup! IMHO a setup like this has value for being itself: once you upgrade it to 486ish/vga then it has no reason to exist IMHO , the point is to have tandy gfx/sound for all these old games :) Although I am not a fan of such old machines, one day I hope to get a similar setup or the Amstrad …

Well people sometimes are so get used to specific equipment / way of working that they just don't want to change it. Even more if they get their work done even today. Personally I continue to use the 2001 "PaintShop Pro 7.04" for my image manipulation needs, 13 years later and I still haven't found …

bug? no MK1 does not have a bug, just the "capital tone fallback" feature that is absent in MK2s ... but MK2s have more polyphony/tones and sound a little different AFAIK . If I was to have only one SC-55 I would chose a MK1 personally. But it's better to have both 🤣 🤣 🤣

I believe that unless you pay a hefty amount for a good scaler you are better off with the monitor's built in one... cheap ones will just add processing lag and quality loss 😵
