Remarks
MSX was the first industry standard for home computers to be independent of the hardware manufacturer. However, it was not generally accepted, but it is embraced by manufacturers such as Philips, Sanyo, Panasonic and Sony.
The good relationship between ASCII and Microsoft in the 1980s led to the introduction of the MSX standard in June 1983. During the development, according to creator Kazuhiko Nishi, the team used the Machines with Software eXchangeability (machinery with interchangeable software),[2][3] although the MicroSoft eXtended explanation was also used by Microsoft’s interpretation.
