- pavlov 6y agoAnd the MS stands for Microsoft. MSX was the original Xbox.
- marcodiego 6y agoAFAIK, MSX stands for "machines with software exchangeability".
- phjesusthatguy3 6y agoI don't know what the letters stand for but this was definitely a Microsoft (and ASCII Corp.) project for standardization of home computer hardware. Like XBox, but multi-vendor.
- ezconnect 6y agoThis is correct and it's mostly in Eastern part of the world. I owned a Spectravideo 328 when I was a kid. One of many kind of MSX computers.
- jacobush 6y agoThe 328 was the precursor to the MSX standard. The 728 was MSX. The differences were so small you could load most MSX programs on the 328 if you used a small software loader. I learned this about 25 years too late. :-D
- sizeofchar 6y agoThat was an afterthought, so that japanese companies didn't think they were directly tied to Microsoft.
