The Panasonic FS-A1 is a MSX2 system. There are two versions: red or black case.
|
||||
|
||||
There is DESKPAC software built-in which starts automatically when the system is booted. It offers several interesting utilities : world time clock, chronometer, alarm, calculator, calendar and diary (see software section for screenshots). From here you can also choose to go directly to MSX Basic v2.0.
|
||||
|
||||
Concerning audio and music, the FS A1 is equiped with an AY-8910-3 chipset (or the YM2149 variant/clone) which is the very typical 3-voice square wave PSG with whitenoise. The computer is equiped with a pause button which hangs the system at will!
|
||||
|
||||
Some times later, the **FS A1 MK2** (MaKe 2) will be released, offering some improvements (which ones?) like a numeric keypad above the cursor keys.
