MSX (MSX2, MSX2+ and TurboR) is a Z80-based family of home computers
from japan consumer electronic corporations like Canon (on the picture), Sony, Sanyo, Toshiba, Yamaha, Philips
(Holland), SpectraVideo (USA) - which appeared in 1982
as an attempt to establish a single standard in home computing.
They were popular in Asian (Korea, Japan) and South American

The "318" featured rubberkeys, integrated joystick, Z80 CPU, 32 KB RAM and 16 KB ROM in basic configuration. The SVI-328 had couple of improvements, e.g. more memory, better keyboard etc. |
