23432 bytes free for BASIC is for MSX computers with 2 drives (what's the case of boosted generic machines in blueMX).

With only 1 drive, you'll get 24990 bytes free for BASIC.

With no any drive, you'll get 28815 bytes free for BASIC.

The free space can a little vary following the type of drive, but as you can see, the lost space for BASIC is occupied by the DISK BIOS. These values are only correct if you have at least 32KB RAM in the MSX.

It should correspond, but maybe you have a machine with a bug in the BIOS.

In the two Msx, the HB10P and the HB20P? May be! I believe that this must happen in all SONY.

I do not understand with what to put in the msx.
I have read the RAM and before the address 8000 I look titles of presentation and this is the text "\bytes free\"
I could change two 64 kb RAM memory and put two of 16 kb.

in openMSX/share/machines you found a directory Sony_HB-10P and Sony_HB-20P

put a copy of your rom and run openMSX

MSX machines have different messages on title screen, and BASIC ready screen. The exact # of free bytes in BASIC depends on diskROM, # of drives, and -possibly- other extensions like RS232, built in video software, calendar application etc.

As long as "fre (0)" gives roughly expected number, there is no issue.

If there is no problem all works well. But when you see the RAM and see this text BYTES FREE. you say shit because it does not. I searched the because.
