On the MSX, there could be more than one floppy disk controller in two or more cartridge slots, and MSX-DOS could boot from several different floppy disk drives. This meant that it was possible to have both, a 5¼" floppy disk drive and a 3½" disk drive, and the user could boot from either one of them

ASCII was having problems getting MSX-DOS working on the actual MSX machine. They had not provided an actual MSX machine to
Paterson, and instead flew him to Tokyo on January 28, 1984, to help them. It turned out that ASCII had been modifying the code without telling Paterson, so they were not
