AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Panasonic FS-A1 is a computer that belongs to the MSX2 family. It has 64 KB of RAM and 128 KB of VRAM.
It is in good condition. It only has one mark from leaving the cable on the bottom, and small signs of use on the top near the cartridge connector. It has the cartridge connector lid, but this tends to fall off.
Includes the original power supply (100V AC), so it may require a 220V to 110V transformer. I have used an AliX one to test it. It has TV output and composite video output (both NTSC) as well as RGB.
Includes the Antenna-Computer switch for the TV (not checked).
Manual in good condition, except that about half a dozen pages have peeled off.
I have tested it via the composite video output to a TV/Composite Video to VGA adapter, and it looks perfect on my old Samsung VGA monitor.
I have tested it with 3 cartridge games (one original and another with an EPROM) and all of them work perfectly.
All of this is documented in the photos, which I have tried to make as detailed as possible.
The unit in its original box (approximately 43x33x11 mm) is shipped inside another box to protect it, with outer dimensions (50x40x20 mm).
NOTE: The monitor, Composite Video-to-VGA adapter, 220V→110V transformer, and the cartridges are NOT included.
