This is basically an MSX 2+ computer virtually non existent in NZ. Was very big in Japan and Europe.
Brain child of Microsoft and also my very first computer

hmm looks a bit like an atari console with a keyboard plonked on top. Very cool.

Much better than Atari back in the day. Had the best Basic back then and could even run CPM.
Also the forerunner of Dos
