Philips VG-8235

Summary

The Philips VG-8235 is a computer according to the MSX2 specification. The Dutch company explicitly advertised its graphics capabilities and with a video memory of 128 KiB he could at that time represent rich 512 x 212 pixels with 256 colors. The 3.5” disk drive addressed 360 KiB media, is only one-sided and often there are problems with the drive. The keyboard is excellent. The predecessor VG-8230 has less memory (only 64 KiB instead of 128 KiB for the VG-8235), the NMS-8245 is identical to the VG-8235 only in another case and a 720 KiB drive.
