This is a really neat system that came out in the mid-80s or so. It
combined a home computer with a music synthesizer. I have one with
external floppy and printer, plus a couple carthridges as well as the
music keyboard to make it a real synthesizer. I also got the manual. I
would suggest picking it up as you don't find many MSX machines to play
with in the States.
