4 computers from 4 different brands: Spectravideo, Sony, Canon and Sanyo, but all of them comform to the very first personal computer standard, the MSX from 1983. The MSX was a standard made by design while the IBM PC was by accident.

Skimming a bunch of old MSX magazines I came across this image in an article about my beloved Canon V-20.
My Canon V20 can run Microsoft MSX-DOS. Yes, believe it or not there was a DOS for the MSX and it was binary compatible with CP/M-80.

Got a companion for my MSX. With this I can also use RF for video output. Now the colors are accurate š
OHHHHHhhhhh MAN!!! I put it away when I bought my A500. Iād been wanting to try it for a while but I feared it didn't work. Today is the day. It works exactly like it worked when I stored it almost 40 years ago.
The only thing which don't work in this awesome MSX Canon V-20 is the T key but I'm still super happy with it. I'll try to fix it at a later date.
