Hey, drop this right now ... MSX was quite a great
thing.
And if I had to select the single best thing MS ever did
to the customer, I'd definitly go for MSX. I think it's
not MS fault that it never realy took of in the US ...
I Agree ......
All I wanted to say is that MSX-DOS effectively is the same
as CP/M 2.x
CP/M-software even ZCPR3 would happily run under MSX-DOS
Trouble was that there was more than one MSX standard mainly
due to
Spectravideo. That's why I stated: (in)famous.
