Zemmix console was made by Daewoo. Zemmix systems were most popular there in 1989. The machines are NTSC, but the power is 220V /100V switchable. They have RCA type audio and video connectors in the back (as well as one RF connector), so they can be used with most TV's. Seems that Daewoo didn't keep much records of these machines, since an inquiry about Zemmix to Daewoo by a fellow Zemmix -owner resulted in a "we know nothing" - answer. At least Zemina, Clover, Topia, Screen and Prosoft produced/hacked games for the system (though most of the games are actually by Konami & other Japanese companies).
Found out a few things about the CPC-51 (probably applies to other Zemmixes as well) : I inserted my "Nemesis" cartridge, which I've had since 1980ies, and instead of "Nemesis" the title screen said "Gradius". Apparently the cartridges somehow recognize that the machine is from Asia. Same thing happened with Penguin Adventure, the title screen changed into some Japanese (Korean?) characters. Also hooked up my Sony disk drive to the CPC-51 - nothing happened. Apparently Zemmix doesn't have an operating system built-in, or at least there isn't a way to make it appear. I've yet to try it with a bootable disk though (my bad, will do this when I have some free time on my hands). The "keyboard" port on the bottom still remains a mystery, maybe the 61W keyboard works with 51 as well. Kevin/Assembler reported that he got a disk drive working with a Zemmix using a Brazilian disk drive adapter cartridge.
