Original price unknown

The Yamaha CX5MII Music Computer is the updated version of the CX5M aimed at the international market. Despite sharing the new design of the CX7M/128 that was released in Japan, it's not an MSX2 machine. Instead, it's an MSX1 computer with the MSX2 video display processor, allowing clearer RGB output. It corresponds to the CX11 but has an SFG05 tone generator instead of the SFG01. It has 64kB of RAM memory and 16kB of VRAM, but a 128kB of RAM version was also available and was called CX5MII/128.
