Note

ver 0.4 prototype (?) that resembles ver 0.1 reviewed on MSX Magazine 1986-07 page 159. The disk runs without the rom which is likely not accessed. This version does not display any Japanese message.
The disk dump contains several software with French message. One of them LISTE.BAS lists European software in European ASCII character set, therefore is unlikely to have been developed by HAL Laboratory the Japanese company.
