Maybe you mean the NMS 8220?
That machine had only 64K RAM (normal memory mapper), but did still
have 128K VRAM, like every MSX2 I've ever seen...
Looks on the outside like a 8020 MSX-1 (with darker case), but with
MSX-2 inside (no diskdrive built-in, but some Designer-plus like
program in ROM as an extra). A bit like a NMS 8245 with the
disk-electronics stripped from it.
