I suspected this... I´ve seen a lot of Toshiba MSX1s (and a few Sony and
JVC) auctioned at eBay UK but never a MSX2 (well once I saw a Phonola
MSX2 that was the same as a Philips NMS-8245).
And I think that S stands for Spanish (or Spain). Here HB-F700 and
HB-F9 were S although many other Sony MSX computers sold in Spain
had only a P (HB-501P, HB-20P, ... no S versions of this machines).
