Wrong! FST 1 *DID* support FM-Pac. Just not simultaniously (call it
"stereo") like MoonBlaster does.

Uhm... Studio FM, I think... Really buggy indeed. Gave up on it after a few
attempts to create "something" (but all these sessions ended up in an MSX
logo scrolling up smoothly, without me hitting the reset button).

Probably right; FST was obviously dedicated to the Music Module. The FM-Pac
support was more like an "extra".
