+
+This is a rare case of a home computer planned and produced in Italy.
+
+This somewhat obscure computer is "almost" a MSX 1 machine without bearing any MSX logo. The only difference seems to be that instead of MSX Basic it has a "MCL extended Basic".
+
+MSX-1 modules are known to be usable on this machine without problems. The computer looks very much like an ordinary keyboard. It seems that this machine has a very tight relation to the courses of the "2f" computer school. The manufacturer, Frael (Florence, Italy) belongs to the same company as "2f" and both are still existing today.
+
+The first version occurred in 1987, the second in 1988, distinguishable only by the motherboards and serial numbers (see the following examples):
+
+1987: AE/821\
+1988: 08971
+
+This machine seems to be not only obscure, but also rather rare.
