What you see on a Japanese PC or MSX keyboard are not kanjis, but kanas.
Kanas are a simplified form of writing : each kana is a syllab.
Kanjis come from Chinese language, they exprim an idea.
msxrestarter: you'd better get a book on basic Japanese to get an idea Or read Wikipedia or so on it.
Just took my first Japanese lesson on www.japanese-online.com/ :P
Think I'll be using Altavista's Babel Fish for a little longer though ;)
So, I hope you know the difference between katakana, hiragana and kanji now
Reading up on it wright now....

Then there's still that plug-in hole one the left. Anybody got a clue what it's for ?
My guess would be that it's for the power supply.
I also have the original printer power supply (only printer itself is missing ) and the outgoing plug is different, doesn't fit in the cartridge.
The plug-in hole on the cartridge is more like a walkman stereo/mono jack plug-in.
