Note
This ver 1.20 integrated into Panasonic FS-A1GT is started by booting FS-A1GT with its firmware switched on. Differences from 1.21 include the inability to handle PCM.
Mouse is enabled by default. FS-A1GT System Disk 3 is occasionally required by applications. Ver 1.00/1.21 Overview disk equivalent is unprovided but the almost identical demo called GT Book can be started from Disk 3. The kanji font rom incorporated in FS-A1GT is not equal to the other versions but it lacks 12x12 pixels JIS level 2 kanji fonts, and is accessed via Panasonic mapper.
Files can be extracted from FS-A1GT then run on FS-A1ST either with or without the ver 1.00/1.21 cartridge, or even on FS-A1GT with its firmware switched off.
