Sharp X68000 Pro (model CZ-652C-GY) bought from Buyee.com (Yahoo Japan Auction proxy) in May 2020.

Standard specifications include:

10MHz Motorola 68000
1MB RAM
2x 1.2MB 5.25" Floppy Drives
External SASI Hard Drive Connector
4x IO slots

Arrived early June with power fault (I think every X68000 in existence now must have had at least one power supply replaced). Intention is to remove the original PSU and replace it with a PicoPSU and adapter board from Aranet (https://www.arananet.net/pedidos/product/atx-adapter-for-x68000/).

Although the work to fit the replacement PSU was straight forward, the machine was damaged after being powered on the first time due to faulty wiring diagram schematics from Gamesx (which have now been amended). This resulted in the machine not accepting any keyboard or joystick input, as well as the second floppy drive not working (may or may not be related). The sound was also really affected until I replaced and socketed the two onboard op-amps and headphone amplifier IC's.
