This is the same computer as the Philips VG-8010.

It is a very poor MSX computer and is not 100% compliant with the standard : no Centronics port, no Expansion bus, no Audio out, a poor keyboard and a non standard PAL connector. It was pretty expensive and didn't have any success.

As the VG-8000 and 8010, the MC-810 was also built in France (at the Mans by La Radiotechnique)...
