The Panasonic FS-A1F ia basicaly a [FS-A1](/museum/panasonic-fs-a1/) (MSX2 system) with a built-in 3.5" floppy disk drive mounted on the front of the case, below the keyboard.
|
|
|
|
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. 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!
