	MSX Is Coming
		The basic problem with all the de facto standards is that, because they were developed more or less haphazardly and were not thoroughly and rigidly defined (or adhered to), they aren't true standards.
		Since all MSX computers are basically the same, any extras added by each manufacturer serve to differentiate their models in the marketplace.
		MSX BASIC is an extension of Microsoft BASIC 4.5 and is patterned after GW-BASIC, a common BASIC on 16-bit computers.

		MSX was announced as a new 8-bit computer standard in the autumn of 1983.
		Since MSX can execute programs only for MSX, it was said that were was no difference from the PC series (NEC) or FM series (Fujitsu) personal computers, which could only execute programs using their format.
		MSX machines which have 64K bytes VRAM but cannot be expanded to 128K bytes are marked "VRAM64K" on their catalogue or packaging.

		Now was BASIC not through his designers not meant to use it as an educational appliance.
		Basic was small enough to work on the first microcomputers and so an American firm, named Microsoft, produced the first BASIC-translator, a program which made it possible to work in BASIC.
		MSX 2 is namely expansion on MSX 1, throug which un written program by the MSX 1 also can work on a MSX 2 computer.

		MSX is the name of a standard for home computers in the 1980s.
		It is worth highlighting that until the appearance and great success of the Nintendo Famicom, MSX was the platform for which major Japanese game studios, including Konami and Hudson Soft among others, produced their titles.
		Thus when MSX was announced and a slew of big Japanese firms announced their plans to introduce machines, it set off a wave of panic in the U.S. industry.

	MSX Is Coming: Part 1
		MSX is a true standard—a coordinated system of hardware and software that is fully compatible across the product lines of competing manufacturers.
		The first generation of MSX computers made their debut in Japan in November 1983, and by midsummer 1984 more than 265,000 units had been sold, capturing a significant share of Japan's low-end home computer market.
		Ironically, however, the low-end MSX computers (which will probably sell for around $200 or less) can be hooked up to everything from digital televisions and sophisticated light pens to powerful music synthesizers, laserdisc players, and a variety of other high-tech peripherals.

		His first MSX just arrives in 1986, a HotBit model produced by Sharp in Brazil.He was so impressed with the new features that MSX brought that he decides to work on a fight game based on Karate.
		Unfortunately his programming techniques for MSX were not so better than his martial arts skills and that has forced him to slowdown his game project to learn more about the MSX.

	BASIC Editors - MSX Utilities by Oleg Alferov aka Secoh
		In 1993, it was used as a sample BASIC program for junior students course in Moscow State University, the department of Computer Sciences.
		The load function actually interprets the BASIC code searching for sprites assignment so it is able to read all the editor saves and most of BASIC programs with sprites.
		The only thing user can access there was the BASIC interpreter, and I didn't have access to the editing/saving tools for this kind of equipment at that time.

		MSX is an old Z80-based family of home computers which appeared in 1982 as an attempt to establish a single standard in home computing similar to VHS in video.
		In spite of its sad history, MSX is a very nice computer, especially useful for educational purposes which is clearly indicated by example of the Soviet Union.
		Due to their hardware structure, MSX machines were perfectly suitable for games and there is a lot of good games either written or ported to them.

		It was my BASIC version of Pacman that shows me how slow a bad programmed game can be, so after kick through the window my MSX-BASIC book I bought a Z80 machine code book and believe me, it was easy.
		After all, the MSX was a (at least graphically) superior machine!.

	8-Bit-Nirvana: Microsoft
		Two surprising things are apparent, however, 1) Most of these "users" never bought BASIC (less than 10% of all Altair owners have bought BASIC), and 2) The amount of royalties we have received from sales to hobbyists makes the time spent on Altair BASIC worth less than $2 an hour.
		We have written 6800 BASIC, and are writing 8080 APL and 6800 APL, but there is very little incentive to make this software available to hobbyists.

		Note that the number specified is the maximum amount of RAM to use for the RAM disk, which is not the same as the maximum amount of free space available on the newly-created RAM disk since the system needs to use some for FAT or directories.

		Note that this code is like most of the MSX basic code I wrote, before the time that I got convinced that sometimes it is a "good thing (tm)" to program in a more modular fashion, and making sure that it is maintenable at a source level.
		The people who already own the original game on MSX will probably notice the fact that the screenshot on the back of the box is'nt of the real MSX version.
