NMS-8250

Philips NMS 8250 was an MSX -2 home computer from the electronics company Philips and was taken in 1986 on the market. He belonged to the Philips New Media System devices and therefore bore the acronym " NMS " in the name. He was a rare form of home computer in a desktop case and the first MSX computer from Philips in this embodiment.

He was almost the same equipment as the previous model VG- 8235th Only a floppy drive with two Lese-/Schreibköpfen was installed on this device already, so that he could read and write double-sided floppy disk (720 Kbytes ). In NMS - 8250 in the desktop chassis was already space for a second drive, but that was not installed by default. From successor NMS -8280 NMS - 8250, the difference is primarily due to the lack genlock.

The computer had a remote keyboard. The desktop had two cartridge slots on the right side. He had the back interfaces for a cassette recorder, a printer, as well as interfaces for monitor and TV (SCART, PAL and composite video interface with video, luma and audio interface ), an interface to another drive and two joystick ports.

The ROM 48 Kbytes for MSX- DOS and 16 Kbytes for the MSX -BASIC version 2.0 as well as the instruction set were housed for controlling the floppy disk drive.
