The hardware section claims two 6809E MPUs running at 1MHz while the right-side information box declares two 68B09 MPUs running at 2MHz. Neither is correct according to the reference given: There are two 68B09 MPUs, the main processor running at 2MHz while the graphics processor runs at 1.2MHz. Further more, the hardware section under memory omits the 48KiB of VRAM also listed in the info-box (and also given in the reference). Lastly, the list price of ¥569 is of course absolutely ridiculous! (It's about $2.50!!). The yen sign was probably meant to be a dollar sign? The listing price given in the reference is ¥126,000, which in 1981's yen course was about $570. — BlindDaemon ( talk) 21:17, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

I don't understand how the notability of the FM-7 can be called into question. The FM-7 was one of the most important Japanese home computers of the 80s, similar to the NEC PC-8801. It just happens to be less known outside.
The hardware section would hardly be improved by conversion into prose, though the details about F-BASIC, which don't really belong under hardware, probably would.— Graf Bobby ( talk) 14:21, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
This article claims that the FM-7 was compatible with the Color Computer. This seems incredibly dubious; can any references be provided? -- Mikeblas ( talk) 03:57, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
The BASIC, FM-7 extensions aside, was very similar to CoCo BASIC, though not quite
as identical as some claim. For example, RND(n)
where n > 1 still produced a number between 0 and 1, not between 0 and n.

The ¥126,000 list price is said to be equivalant to US $1250. This is vastly different from the figure one gets from the historical exchange rates, which varied from about ¥220 to ¥280 to the dollar between 1981-12 and mid-1985. Using those figures gives a USD eqivalant of $450 - $600.
How was the figure of $1200 derived, and why are we using that? Should it be changed to be closer to the exchange rate figure? Or are we doing some sort of cost-of-living type thing with it?
