MSX 2 what's it al l about?
LISTINGS geting stared
Sanyo's MSX may be fn, but it's far fom
fivolous.
Our MPC 100 is the kind of quality machine
only one of the word's leading manufacturers
. of business micros could produce.
You' ll revel i its 64K memor superb 16
colour gaphics, and 3 channel/8 octave sound,
operable by light pen or joystick options.
You can rely on Sanyo back-up as well.
We' ve a factory entrely devoted to computer
producton. Other MSX manufacturers haven't
So even i you do just want an MSX for
playing games, you could end up a loser i you
don' t frst see Sanyo, ten decide. SANVC

At Pioneer we've never believed in following the
:rowd. We prefer them to be one step behind us.
And with our innovative reputation in Hi-Fi and In-Car
:ntertainment, people tend to demand rather special
:hings fom us. Our new PX-7 home computer is just that.
It has all the benefts you'd expect from a standard
VSX home computer, but with a few added talents.
No other home computer enables you to create your
)Wn art and animation like the PX-7
Up to 16 difrent colours are available and by using
:he optional PX-TB7 graphics tablet you can create illus
:rations, shapes and various backgrounds. Then store up
L eight of these shapes with their respective animation
)rogrammes in the computer memory

N0Vl0g ll0tUf65. Use the PX-7 in conjunction with

a video or LaserDisc* player to superimpose your graphics,
creations or titles onto a moving video picture. The PX-7
can also produce stereo sound with three diferent voice
patterns over eight octaves and superimpose them over
other sound sources.
Vl060 000tf0. When used in conjunction with our
SD-26 component television and LD-700 LaserDisc* player,
the PX-7 has the added versatilit of being able to
understand and control the complete system.
So if you're looking for a home computer that's
versatile, talented and one step ahead of the crowd,
remember there's only one. The Pioneer PX-7.
Phone 01-200 0200 for your nearest PX-7 dealer.

resered for teenage
whizzklds anyone
can do it. We

Unforunately, communica
tions Isn't just a mater of
plugging the phone into
your computer. To conver
computer signals into
pulses suitable for sending
down the telephone line
you'll need a device known
as a modem (MOdulator
DEModulator).
Not all modems can
handle all baud rates or
systems, but if you plan to
get Into comms seriously
lt's worh forking out for a
multi-standard model, cap
able of handling both 1200/
75 and 300/300 baud.

You'll also need some
sofare. Like the modem
lt's a good idea to go for the
most versatile you can get.
The Computermates car
tridges are Ideal as they can
handle both vlewdata and
normal scrolling systems.
If, on the other hand, it's
just Prestel you're in
terested in, then the new
carridge from Micro Tech
nolog is worh a look.
Once you've got the mod
em and the sofare all you
need Is a phone and a
healthy bank balance to pay
the phone bill!

MTBASE is famous for its quality,
sped and user-friendliness
Y1bLis a card index system which allows you
tostore data normally stored on conventional
card. From important addresses to stock, from
your stamp collection to a prospect-address
system, from a membership list to an agenda etc
etc. With MT-BASE the possibilities are endless.
10Hchoose from 7 built-in card indexes, and
design an unlimited number of card indexes
yourself.
The reviews are the proof
Read the reviews! "The best price/performance we
have ever seen." "Out-performs any other
dtabase on MSX." "A very special card index,
unblievable speed." "Even the most spiled user
will b satisfied." These are extracts from reviews
0yEuropean magazines.
Exensive manual
Y1bL is easy to learn, and easy to handle, so
much that the manual is almost superfluous!
Nevertheless, each MT-BASE program comes with
an extensive manual of over 1 50 pages with
examples and 'help-pages'. If for any reason you
d not sure about a cerain par of the program just
lo k at the top right hand of the screen which points
Othe 'help-page' in your manual.
Printing
The printing features of MT-BASE are almost
unlimited. You can produce labels, lists, forms etc
etc in any design. lt's just a question of 'composing'
your label from your records!

Memory expansion
The MT-BASE system can Dused on all memor
sizes. l t even uses RAM expansion carridges up to
the maximum MSX configuration. This means that
should you decide to expand your MSX computer
at a later. date to 256Kbyte or even 1 Megabyte
MT -BASE already suppors it!
For disk and cassette
Because MT -BASE is on carridge (which can be
plugged directly into your MSX carridge slot) a
diskette or cassette can be used to store your data
-this gives you more data storage and doesn't
alter any MT -BASE functions -you can star now
on a cassette based system and expand at a later
date to a diskette base system.

We put Yamaha's
latest double
sided disk drive
through its paces
-is it really
value for money?
tape users
(
rink a lot of tea and
cofee. Afer all, they
have to do something while
their programs are loading. A
much faster and more conve
nient means of storing prog
rams and data, and an excel
lent way to cut down your
drinking, is to use a disk drive,

of the Sony, the Yamaha drive
holds disks verti cal l y. There i s
just one si ight di sadvantage to
this which is that, when you're
inserting and extracting the
disk, its bottom edge is onl y a
smal l di stance above the
table.
If you are untidy you' l l fi nd
you wi | | keep having to move
papers, manual s, cartridges,
ashtrays or whatever junk
accumulates i n the area of your
computer, each ti me you
change a di sk.
I n many w_ays thi s dri ve i s
similar to the JVC model . But it
has one feature whi ch the JVC
lacks, and that's a busy I ight. lt
can be ha rmfu |to both the drive
and the disk i f you remove the
later whi l e it's spi nni ng.
You might thi nk that nobody
would be stupi d enough to try i t
-as the disk onl y spi ns when
commanded to, you shoul d
know when its i n operati on.
Unfortunatley the di sk often
spins for some ti me after i t has
finished readi ng a fi l e, and if
you're i n a rush it's very temp
ting to try to take it out too
soon. The bright LED on the
front of this drive hel ps to warn
you agai nst this possi bl y tragic
act.
However, you won't a I ways
need the l i ght. This drive
makes enough noise when it's
spinning to let you know it i s
working. Of course you don't
get a deafeni ng di n, but just
the odd graunch. Some peopl e
have been known to find this

sound comforti ng, because it

lets them know that somethi ng
i s actual ly happeni ng i n re
sponse to thei r typed com
mands.
The sound i s far from rough.
I ndeed the drive seems to
operate very smoothly, and
quite fast too. Combi ned with
its sol id appearance and
robust construction thi s hel ps
to give i t an ai r of eficiency and
rel i abi l ity. We'd certai nl y trust
our precious data to thi s
machi ne (whi l e sti l t maki ng
back-up copi es, of course!)
One feature the FD-05 lacks
is a dust cover for the di sk sl ot.
Even 3. 5 i nch fl oppi es, with
thei r sturdy cases and sl i di ng
covers, are horri bl y prone to
damage from dust and di rt.
Getti ng the FD-05 to tal k to
your computer coul dn't be
easi er. The dri ve is connected
to the computer by standard
i nterface cabl e. Thi s termi n
ates i n a l arge cartridge at the
mi cro end, so there are no
guesses where you pl ug it i n!
On the back of the drive there
are two mai n ports. The i nter
face cabl e pl ugs i nto one. The
other i s for dai sychai ni ng
another drive, whi ch would
give you around 1. 4 Mega
bytes of on l i ne storage.
Shoul d you use the dri ve with
Yamaha' s own mi cro, the CX-
5M, you wi l l i mmedi ately
notice a probl em. The compu
ter has onl y one cartridge slot,
so when the di sk drive i s
pl ugged i n you can't use any
normal software cartridges,
such as Yamaha's wonderful
musi c packages.
The mi cro does have an
expansi on bus at the back, but
thi s i s of the edge connector
variety, as found on some toy
computers we cou I d mention.
However, Yamaha produces an
adapter al l owi ng you to pl ug
carridges or the di sk drive i n
the back.
The i nterface cartridge com
es compl ete with MSX di sk
BASI C, which contai ns most of
the commands you're ever
l i kel y to need for handl i ng
di sks. These i ncl ude com
mands for random access fi les
- one of the bi ggest advan
tages of usi ng di sks.
With cassettes the i nforma
ti on i s stored seri al l y, and it's
usual l y necessar to load a
compl ete fi l e i nto memory
before you can use the data.
Thi s means the si ze of your fi l e
i s l i mited by the spare memory
capacity of the mi cro.
With di sks you can read or
write to any poi nt i n the fi l e.
Theoreti cal l y the fi l e can be as
l arge as the memory capacity
of the di sk, whi ch i n thi s case i s
a massi ve 720K. Onl y part of
the fi |e needs to be i n the
computer's memory at any one
ti me.
What was noticeably mi s
si ng from the dri ve we received
was an MSX-DOS system di sk.
lt's not cl ear whether thi s wi l l
be i ncl uded with production
drives (ours was an early
pre-production sampl e) .
MSX-DOS i the profession
al di sk operation system, de
rived from the busi ness stan
dard MS-DOS. lt's l i kel y that a
l arge number of the busi ness
software packages whi ch wi | |
be comi ng on the the MSX
market wi l l run under thi s
system. But i t needs at least
64K of memory.
As Yamaha's own mi cro has
onl y 32K thi s may be the
reason MSX-DOS was not i n
cl uded i n our sampl e package.
However, the drive wi l l quite
happi l y run MSX-DOS with
another mi cro, if you've got the
system from el sewhere.
Two manual s were suppl ied
with the drive, though one
woul d be better described as a
leaflet. Thi s is the operating
manual . lt tel l s you how to
connect the machi ne up to your
computer and the mai ns, how
to i nsert and remove di sks,
how to format di sks and how to
look after them. And that's
about it as far as useful
i nformation is concerned.
The second manual , whi ch is
a compl ete gui de to MSX di sk
BASI C, i s rather fatter and
much more i nteresti ng. We
saw an i ncompl ete pre-release
copy, but even so it I ooks quite
comprehensive. Al l the com
mands are expl ai ned i n detai l ,
with ful l syntax and exampl es.
So there's no excuse for not
usi ng the machi ne ful ly or
property.
The overal l styl i ng of the
dri ve i s wel l up to the cl ass of
Yamaha's mi cro. lt's fi ni shed
i n the same sl ate grey, with
subtle l etteri ng. The mai n pow
er button i s on the front, al ong
with a bright green LED maki ng
i t obvious when the machi ne is
switched on. The busy l i ght
shoul d real l y have been at the
top too. Unfortunately it's low
down, where it can get
obscured.
To eject a di sk you press a
l arge button, right next to the
slot and mountedfl ushwi ththe
front of the dri ve. Even without
practice thi s button is easy and
comfortabl e to use - you
appreci ate smal l detai l s l i ke
that when you swap around a
lot of di sks.
The Yamaha FD-05 i s a
qual ity product. tt's un
doubtedly one of the better
drives, mai nly because it's
doubl e-si ded, the onl y com
petitor bei ng Mitsubishi . So
i f you're bored with tea and
coffee, thi s drive woul d
be a good i nvestment.

and al chemi st's sanctums,
such as the evil wizard of Aiken
Di shun, Sog the Newt |i ng and
Drel l a the Trol l .
Where it di ffers from

without the right equi pment,

The idea i s to successful ly

are a number of obstacles to
overcome.
For a start, part of the puzzl e

The longer you keep the trai n
runni ng, the more poi nts you
notch up. Poi nts are al so
scored for cal l i ng at al l the

I n later stages, the game
gets quite di ffi cul t with
aggressive enemy trai ns, dead

Strategi c pl anni ng i s the key
to success with thi s game and
as there are 43 stages to get

As the trai n moves round the
tracks, a real i stic chuggi ng

High Quality Microcomputer Software

Pascal [cassetteonly] Z9. 9
A powerful and virtually full implementation of Stan
dard Pascal. A valuable educational and development
tool in an incredibly small size (1 9K) for such a complete
language compiler, compiles directly to zao code which
executes very quickly, typically at least 40 times faster
than the BASIC equivalent. INTEGERs, REALs, CHARs,
ARRAYs, SETs, RECORDs, POINTERs, I F . . . THEN . . .
ELSE, CASE . . . OF, WHILE . . . DO, REPEAT . . . UNTIL,
FOR . . . DO, fully recursive procedures and functions,
value and variable parameters etc. etc. So much that you
will not believe it. You MUST write for details.
Devpac [cassetteonly] I 9. 9

An excellent, fast ( 4000 lines per minute) assembler

coupled with a powerful disassembler/debugger. So
many features that we cannot possibly do the package
justice here - conditional assembly, assembly from tape,
macros, screen and line editing, full arithmetic, front
panel debugger with disassembler, single step, multiple
breakpoints, modify, list and move memory etc. Every
thing you need AND fully relocatable so that it works on
ALL MSX machines with more than 16K memory.
MSX Uiscboltware each J9.9
Ueyac80
A suite of three programs for assembly language development:
ED80 is a powerful Wordstar compatible program
editor; fully installable with help screens, cut and
paste, search and replace, and other sophisticated
features.
GEN80
MONao
Fascal80
is a fast, high-specification macro assembler with
disc inclusion, conditional assembly and full
arithmetic.
is a comprehensive debugger and monitor, includ
ing single-step, disassembly to disc, breakpoints,
pattern search and much more.
A powerful and virtually full implementation of Pascal, produc-
ing fast ZBO directly (no P-codes or linking). There is full heap
management by NEW, MARK and RELEASE and access to
machine code via PEEK, POKE, INLINE, ADDR, INP, OUT and
CPM. Among the compiler options are source file inclusions
and runtime check disabling. ED80 is supplied with Pascal80
(see Devpac80 above).
L++
A fast compiler for the C systems language which invokes ED80
automatically when it finds an error. C++ has UNIX standard
ll including random access files and command lines with
redirection. C is a very flexible language combining high-level
structured programming with low-level access to the zao.
HiSoft C++ conforms almost exactly to the 'Kernighan and
Ritchie' standard with the exception of floats. Again, EDBO is
part of the package.

irly simple game, ich you'll Immediately
recognise from a few years ago In the
amusement arcades. You control a craf at the
botom of the screen, which can only move lef
or right. The atackers move UHMMUfrom lef
to right and back again across the screen, all
the time geting lower. You have to shoot them
out of the sky before they have a chance to
land.
Each time you star a new screen, the
atackers star a litle closer, so you have less
time to destroy them.

known game where you guide a snake around
the screen, eating food and avoiding walls and
monsters-and the snake's ever-growing tall.
Lots of skill Is required. If you manage to

crs rgt will Immediately recognise this
game. Five cards (face down) appear with the
firt tured up. You have to guess whether the
nex card Is of a higher or lower value.
If you're right, you go onto the next card, If
not you lose some of your 100 stake and are
Invited to deal again. The card graphics are
ver realistic, and strings with control charac
ters have been used to produce cards and

pictures much faster than printing one charac

ter at a time.

Surely everone has p this all-time
classic at some time or other. lt's a pret f
straightorard version, but with one snag.
You have to clear each screen within the time

In all, a dificult task, but challenging
especially with the to ghosts chasing you
around the maze.

s your a m? n game you're tring to
shoot the ducks to gain points. Lots of ,
balloons are foating by beteen you and the
_ ducks, so you have to avoid them If possible.
Shooting them does gain you an extra few
points, though.
You have a limited supply of ammunition,
Z
but If you still manage to shoot down six ducks,
you move onto the next screen. lt's pret
trick, but lt can be done.

Seconds out!! Round one and Slugger

Sam comes out swinging, looking for
that killer pnch, but the Italian Stallion
is ducking and weaving like a ballerina
and there it is, the famous 'Joystick
Shuffle', Slugger hits the canvas 1 do4
Ob1and out. The Stallion wins and
can now challenge for the heavyweight
title of the world. Better than a ringside
seat, be there in the ring swapping
punches but never feeling a thing. Box
clever with KNOCKOUT the fight game
of the century.

Ver similar In appearance to
the Goldstar, Toshlba's HX-10
Is a colourul, compact compu
ter. lt contains no features
other than those specified as
the standard MSX require
ments and this has probably
helped Toshlba to reduce the
price tag, formerly 239, to

The CX5m is a cmputer. But cerainly not an
ordinar computer. lt has ben designed specifically
to b used by musicians, composers and arrangers,
bth amateur and professional, to produce music in
ways that were never before possible.
The CX5M has a Yamaha digital FM voice generator
built-in - the same type of voice
g
enerator as our
OX series Digital Prorammable Algorithm Synth
esizers. That means it is capable of producing rich,
realistic sounds that are amazingly lifelike. In fact,
pre-prorammed voices are provided. But you can
also proram your own to create virually any voic
you like, and save your original voices on a standard
cssette tape. With the YK-01 "mini" music keybard
or the standard-size YK-1 0 music keybard, the
CX5M Dmes a high-quality perormance synth
esizer, with 8-note poly
p
honic output and a prog
rammable split keyboard function.
The CX5M is also a tremendous tool for composers
or arrangers. You can compose music right on the
monitor screen, entering notes from the computer
keybard or directly from the music keyboard. You
can arrange your composition for up to 8 parts, using
the pre-programmed FM voices or ones you have
programmed yourself. Compose, arrange and rear
range with ease-and hear the results immediately.
A built-in MIDI interface also makes it pssible to use
the CX5M as a sophisticated sequencer to control
MIDI compatible synthesizers, drum machines and
other instruments.
There's some reall
y
go news for DX7 synthesizer
owners, too. The CX5M allows you to program your
OX synthesizer via the MIDI interface, with full
on-screen parameter display-including graph-type
envelop generator waveforms so you can SEE
what you're prramming.
The CXSM is a VIrtually indispensable tol for toay's
musician. And with the constantly expanding line of
Yamaha CX5M music sofware, not to mention the
increasing range of instruments that supprt MIDI
cntrol, it's a tol that will continue to grow in
imprance i n virually all music-relate fields.

CANON V20
Stlishly chunky-that's prob
ably the best way of describing
the Canon V-20. The sleek
black case, adorned with the
orange and white Canon logo.
and the mixture of dark and
pale grey keys combine to give
this machine a modish pro
fessional look.

You'd expect one of the best-selling
home computers in Japan to have a
specification list as big as its memory.
But the Toshiba HX10 doesn't just
limit itself to that.
lt was developed along with other
Japanese home computers to operate
on one language:MSX.You can swap prog
rams,games,cassettes, even peripherals
like disk drives, printers, and joysticks:
they're all compatible with every other
MSX computer
All of which makes MSX the system
of the future.
So if you want a computer that won't
be obsolete in a few years, buy an MSX.
If you want one of the best-selling MSX
computers in Japan, buy a Toshiba HX10.
