I don't think so, as GW-Basic is for 80x86 (16-bit intel). I find it
more likely that MSX-Basic is an extended version of MBasic (a BASIC
that Microsoft developed for Z80).
Hmmm, in that case, if the X really stood for extended, the BASIC should
have been called MXBasic, to be in line with its history...
I'm starting to believe Nishi ;-)
Kind regards,
