Team Neo Mini IQ-3000

Description
The Mini IQ-3000 is a computer created by a team in Korea. It was never commercially released, and only 30 or so units were created. The system is based on the design of the One Chip MSX, but with a scanline generator added.
Unlike the previous Zemmix Neo project the team did, this has a built-in keyboard, but lacks a VGA output.
The IQ-3000 name is a homage to the IQ-1000 and IQ-2000 series of MSX computers from Daewoo.
