+After Microsoft left the [MSX project](/museum/msx-1/) in 1986, ASCII continued alone. They presented a new improvement of the [MSX 2](/museum/msx-2/) standard in 1988.
+
+No great enhancements, the MSX 2+ has 19268 colors instead of 512, some more graphic / KANJI resolutions and the FM-PAC cartridge is included, providing 9 channels of FM sound without drums or 6 channels FM sound with 5 FM drums.
+
+MSX2+ computers were only produced by Panasonic, Sony and Sanyo (the one pictured here is the Panasonic FS A1 WSX). There were only available in Japan...
