Simple: The MSX doesn't look like a philips NMS 8250 MSX2 anymore. It looks like a PC running on a stunning 7.0Mhz or 3.6Mhz (It says so on the LED display on the front) in a very big desktopcase. It is upgrades to MSX 2+ with 128Kb RAM and it has build in a 20Mbyte(!) harddisk, 100Mb ZIPdrive and now that CD-ROM and a SLOTEXPANDER with the MK Cartridge and a SCC in it and in the other original MSX slot a FM-Pak. There's still room to build in more. I even "refurbisched" a PC keyboard to be used on the MSX. It has a handle on one site so the case can be carried around. (also on the Commodore 1084S(tereo) monitor) Greetings, Hapzee
