Over The Top

October 1984 should see the arrival of Sanyo's MPC 100 MSX micro in the shops with a price tag of £299.95.

Facilities are included for using a light pen with the machine together with sockets for a Centronics printer, monitor, audio, TV and joysticks.

Toshiba (issue 74) has also released details of its HX-10 this week. The HX-10 has all the normal MSX facilities such as 16 colours and three channel sound. Toshiba has given its MSX machine a slightly lower price tag than Sanyo's, around £280, but no official launch date.
