MSX history on youtube
Oeh, check that young dude who's called Bill Gates
Oeh, and Kazuhiko Nishi is there too! 
Ramon: it has been reported that several MSX machines have hardware reset switches built into the cartridge slot(s), which cause the MSX to reset when it's switched on and a cartridge is inserted. Don't know whether it concerns 'the Hitachi' and the other machine though.

On the video Bill Gates accurately predicts the one chip MSX back in 1986!
The song played on Yamaha keyboard in this video is "Take me to the moon", known widely in the world as Frank Sinatra's song. Anime lovers know this song from "Neon Genesis Evangelion" series.

True.. My first MSX (Toshiba HX-10) had a resetswitch in the cartridge port. Nevertheless the guy I sold it to after I bought my first MSX2, blew it up in a couple of days (With my Antartic Advanture cart, which survived
)

bill is talking abouth a 1chip msx 

And it features the big question: why doesn't it have a cassette port? [although aimed at a different computer] 
btw... the idea behind the MSX2 already was to implement as many features as possible on a single chip, nishi talked about this in his Tilburg 2001 lecture.

Nice find, Ramon!
Spectrum is 2-3x more powerful than MSX!?
It's the first time I actually see and hear Bill Gates talking about MSX
