Sanyo MSX2+ Extended BASIC Manual (Wavy series)
The Sanyo MSX2+ Extended BASIC Manual is Sanyo's Japanese booklet パーソナルコンピュータ 拡張BASIC説明書 MSX2+ WAVYシリーズ (Personal Computer Extended BASIC Manual, MSX2+, Wavy series). It covers the BASIC that Sanyo's MSX2+ machines, the PHC-70FD, PHC-70FD2 and PHC-35J, add to MSX2: the MSX2+ commands, MSX-MUSIC and the built-in BASIC compiler. The back cover is printed "2CA6P1A0072--Ⓑ(Y3FL)". The scan has 84 pages: the cover, the introduction, printed pages 1 to 80, and the two back covers. It is held by the Internet Archive.[1][2]
The introduction says that whether a machine has MSX2+, MSX-MUSIC and the BASIC compiler depends on the model, and that the owner should check the operating instructions supplied with it. The PHC-35J has neither MSX-MUSIC nor the compiler, so the chapters on those two do not apply to it.[3]
