| Note | The SVI-738 it's equipped with the VDP Yamaha V9938, found in the MSX2 computers, not in the MSX, so the X'Press can ve easily converted into an MSX2. The Spectravideo SVI-738 included a Terminal emulation program in ROM that could be accessed with a call command. Since the memory management was so slow, a command was included to copy the rom program to ram to prevent line errors. |
