The MPC 100 is a classic MSX 1 computer with 64 KB RAM.
Its main particularity is to be delivered with a light pen. There is of course a connector to use it, and more surprising a hole is placed at the top right part of the case to store the light pen when not in use! However, some versions had the light pen hole but were delivered without neither the pen nor its connector.
The MPC-100, apart from its memory size, is the same computer as the Wavy 10 / MPC 10.
