I remember a US computer mag that years ago ran a cover piece on MSX and predicted it would take over the US computer market. But the 16 bit machines arrived in time to kill it off here, apparently. Point is, as an 8-bit computer system, MSX apparently maxed out the hardware. Sanyo sold a PC clone (the 550 or some such) that wasn't MSX but ran a special version of MS-DOS. Not very compatible with most IBM clones. A nifty computer for its day, though, and it's still got a following. I nearly bought one ten years ago. — Ron Legro, Milwaukee via AUTOPILOT (the only way to fly)
