One of the most obscure computers I have ever looked up, the Gradiente Expert was a MSX computer for the Brasilian market; a reissue of the National CF-3000 for the Japanese market, styled like a contemporary audio box, cheaper than a C64 but hampered by an incomplete MSX implementation.One of the most obscure computers I have ever looked up, the Gradiente Expert was a MSX computer for the Brasilian market; a reissue of the National CF-3000 for the Japanese market, styled like a contemporary audio box, cheaper than a C64 but hampered by an incomplete MSX implementation.

A three-piece computer unit. Up top, the white monitor reads: "MSX BASIC versão 1.1 Br 'G r a d i e n t e' 28014 bytes livres OK" up top, then "color auto goto list run" down below. The computer itself is a grey pizzabox, with black angular highlighting joining the two cartidge slots and the power light. Image bottom, the Expert's keyboard; a full keyboard, it includes multimedia buttons, a blue directional keypad, and the same angular black highlighting as is on the face of the computer proper. A small recess in the computer allows the keyboard to be locked in place, although this seems only to be to hold the keyboard in position, not to store the keyboard.

You know you are a keyboard nerd when you look at that and go "That looks like a magnificent keyboard, I wonder how it feels to type on it"

MSX where only the first few characters of a variable name are actually used God, what's an incomplete implementation of this

Please stop spreading lies. You posted this 1 month ago, and I pointed out your mistake. bsky.app/profile/icon...

Where did you took that information from? Expert was a fully MSX1 computer, 64k RAM, 16k VRAM, Z80 CPU, V9938 VDP, AY-3-8910 PSG - as every MSX made, following the standard. With tape, carts, joystick and printer ports. There was nothing 'incomplete' about it!
