That's not an MSX computer tho...

That's indeed a PC keyboard ...

nahh... is a msx1 iirc

If you ask me it's neither an MSX nor a PC keyboard :/

It got graph and code keys like a MSX. Doesn't make it a MSX but...

And this page says it's MSX "compatible" somehow:

Ah, this is a better picture. You can even see it has a SELECT key.
It must be related to MSX somehow. Maybe it was produced without a license?

Frael Bruc 100 1988 ?
Z80A-3.5MHz
64kB RAM
Heimcomputer aus Italien ("Der didaktische Computer" mit einem kleinen Geheimnis.
Der BRUC100 ist augenscheinlich MSX kompatibel ...
MSX1 Module funktionieren jedenfalls ohne Probleme.

What strikes me the most: Those cursor keys are -WEIRD- How can anyone seriously use that?

yeah .. o_O .. looks good for playing simcity tho

and I think the ESC button is way off course

IT'S A MSX!!! With some MSX-Basic extensions (blinking cursor, step forward word by word, cut a text line, etc.) and built in applications.

I'll try to dump bios to emulate it, since some time ago a user phoned to Frael to ask about copyrights: they replied that don't care about it anymore.

There are 2 versions of these machine.
It is not clear if the first version is MSX compatible, as the second one is.

Some interesting links:

Not only the BIOS is important, it is also important to have the other ROMs and the location of them in the MSX slots. And to know what other stuff is present. Are there technical docs somewhere?

We have already talked about this computer in the past... check out this thread on the forum:
