The Sony HIT BIT F9P was a [MSX 2 standard](/museum/msx-2/) machine with no built-in floppy drive.
|
||
|
||
Along with MSX BASIC, several software were provided in ROM:\
|
||
\- Personal data and notes\
|
||
\- Calendar and alarm\
|
||
\- System Setup interface.
|
||
|
||
Foreign models where named HB-F9S for Spain, HB-F9F for France, HB-F9D for Germany or HB-F9P for PAL systems...
