The table is not entirely correct… FM is not part of the MSX2+ standards (there are 2 models without it). Also, don’t forget about VRAM: 16KB for MSX1, 64 or 128kB for MSX2 and 128kB for MSX2+ and later.
Also, memory mapper is optional for both MSX1 and MSX2. On MSX1 more than 64k is also realised with memory mapper.
Manuel! Nice to see you here! Yeah, this is a very summarized table. Will mention technical details when we dive deeper. This is supposed to be an intro for people who haven’t used MSX computers before. :-)
Great! Just a minor correction: MSX2+ was introduced in 1988, not 1998.
Ooops. Thanks for noticing. Fixed.
