About the MRC contests, will it have some special class for hardware? I think it would boost up hardware developers to come with something new
Dhau: The soundchip you're thinking of is the AY-3-891x, the very same "crazy 3-channel synth" chip as the PSG in the MSX. ;-)
OTOH, the Tandy 100 is unrelated to the Tandy PCs, just as it is unrelated to the TRS-80s. IIRC, it is an OEM version of a NEC design, and was also OEMed in Sweden by the state telecom.

Do you know under what name it was marketed by Televerket?
Televerket in Norway used SVI MSX's
Ah, they did the same in Sweden! They oftenly markted them with split speed modems for use with Videotex (a system like the french Minitel).
Televerket also educated their employees with SVI MSX and offered them buying one for home.

It just gets better and better, doesn't it?
Seriously though, I was amazed seeing so much activity (I've just joined a few weeks ago).
