The Yamaha CX5M has an OPM chip shoved in one of its slots. By regular naming conventions that should make it one better than an OPL. But just like nowadays graphics cards the numbers and letters usually mean diddly squit. So it's not.

Got this unique piece of equipment. An MSX Yamaha CX5M Music Computer. It has an FM Sound Synthesizer built in, from 1984. Looking forward to play around with this 😛🎼🎶

There was a group in Toronto that released an LP with one track as data for the then-current Yamaha CX5m share.google/l2i31t4dVMp1...

So the full story is that there is a fully functional Yamaha CX5M here, but the FM Composer II cartridge was completely corroded through, so there was no way to play back those files

Not had this one open before because it was in good nick and it worked. But at some point in it's disuse it's had a tug on the comp plug and cracked a trace.
So ta-da, an MSX. With frames and modules and risers and engineering and stuff. Very nice.
All fixed just need to remember how the screws go
