In the early 1980s, microcomputing entered households. Dozens of models of microcomputers exist on this nascent market. These computers are all incompatible with each other, do not know how to communicate or exchange programs. From Japan will come a proposal for rationalization that will give birth to the first standard of microcomputing: the MSX. This book relates the history of this genesis, the genius idea of Kazuhiko Nishi, the involvement of Microsoft, the hardware origins of MSX computers, the promises of a standard, and also the reasons for its failure.
