MSX2 Technical Handbook

Konamiman's MSX Page : MSX2 Technical Handbook

This is the official technical reference of the MSX 2 standard, edited by ASCII corporation in 1987, converted to text files. I typed all of it manually in 1997, using photocopies as reference (I had never seen the original book); I used about four months for the whole task. I have corrected some failures of the original text and I have added information about Turbo-BASIC.
