This is a [MSX 2+](/museum/msx-2-291/) computer.

No great enhancements over the [MSX 2](/museum/msx-2/), 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.

However, the Sanyo Wavy 35 lacked the Sound cartridge but featured the Rensha Turbo, which was a built-in auto-fire system. The repetition speed could be adjusted with a slider. There was also a MUTE button, which apparently muted all sounds (?).

MSX2+ computers were only produced by Panasonic, Sony and Sanyo. They were only available in Japan...
