The Wavy /MPC 10 is a classic [MSX 1](/museum/msx-1/) computer with 32 KB RAM (some sources say 16 KB).
Its main particularity is to be delivered with a light-pen. There is of course a connector to use it, and more surprising a hole is placed at the top right part of the case to store the light-pen when not in use!
The [MPC-100](/museum/sanyo-mpc-100/) seems to be the same computer with 64 KB.
