Philips - NMS 8255

Note: European MSX2 computer, 128kB RAM, same as the NMS 8250 but with two 720kB 3.5" floppy disk drives. Front panel will even say NMS 8250, only the label on the back will have the correct type. The box will also be the one from the NMS 8250 and show just one FDD.

Three regional models were produced:
- NMS 8255/00 for the Dutch and Belgian markets, keyboard layout is QWERTY
- NMS 8255/16 for the Spanish market, keyboard layout is QWERTY with ñ key
- NMS 8255/19 for the French market, keyboard layout is AZERTY

The system confusingly states 256K RAM, but this is actually made up of 128K RAM + 128K VRAM.
