The Captain Multi Station Specifications inspected by SYSID12.COM
by Takamichi Suzukawa, Jan. 22, 2001

* About
SYSID12.COM is the MSX-DOS utility by Pierre Gielen which checks the specifications of the MSX it is running on.
I installed MSX-DOS2 system (the kernel was sucked from an A1-GT) into a MEGA-SCSI with 256KB SRAM, and saved SYSID12.COM into the SRAM. Then I inserted the MEGA-SCSI cart into the CMS and ran SYSID12.COM. The result was as follows.

Disk drive related information are probably rather meaningless, because they're about the MEGA-SCSI SRAM being treated as A:. In addition "DOS2 manager : Yes" suggests the memory mappers during this inspections were managed in a way different from the way when CMS is ran without my MEGA-SCSI cart.

The notable specifications are, firstly, the unusual "192KB" RAM. Kanji ROM existence is understandable, but lack of modem isn't.
I tested with and without the memory card (the peripheral unique to CMS), but results were same. Unlike most Japanese MSXes, CMS does not require battery to memorize calendar and alike, but can memorize nontheless, so CMS is probably equipped with self-recharging battery.
