Don´t know about Toshiba HM-MU900, but "WHAT MSX? Winter 1985" says this:

Toshiba HM-MU901 Music System

Price £279.99

Toshiba Music Maker Package (includes the Music System and a 64K HX-10 micro)

Price: £369.99

For comparison, same test compared Yamaha´s system too, and Yamaha´s prices were:

Yamaha CX-5M
(includes YK-01 keyboard and YRM-102 voicing program)

Price £299.00

(£349.99 with full size keyboard)

Toshiba´s pack had 49-note keyboard, Yamaha´s cheaper smaller keyboard had 44-notes.

I still have the shop invoice from the original NL owner of my Toshiba HX-MU901 and HX-MU900.
I'll look for it tonight, and will let you know the price.

Philips Music Module had an initial list price of 399 NLG, IIRC.
Not sure about that ...
I remember buying the Philips Music Module for around 5000 BEF (so around 250 NLG).
I kept it for a few days, and realizing I could not do anything with it, I brought it back to the shop for refund !! oOoO
But maybe it was a bit later than its initial launch ...
