Not exactly the same situation, NMS8250 was based on PHC-25J but clearly Philips and Olympia have had a hand in the final machine. Both the Olympia and Philips machines don’t share the mainboard with the machines they are based on! These Yamaha’s are all made by Yamaha sold as Yamaha with the same model number. I guess time will tell.
Philips VG 8020-40 ROM dump
After stripping of the last 32kB of garbage the ROM is identical to the VG8020/20
I purchased a Japanese HC-7, I will dump the ROMs as soon as it arrives.
Are ROM's for Yamaha CX-5MIIF (French model with AZERTY layout and RGB as the only video option) already dumped? Is there any remaining uncertainty about this hardware which could be resolved with ROM dumps, test programs, or photographs of the internals?
(It's a 64K CX-5MIIF, not the /128 model with more RAM; also I don't have the synthesizer/MIDI/keyboard module or voicing program mini-cartridge)
Yes, definitely interested and useful! I am not aware of any full dumps and pictures of this French model.

I'll see about photographing it next weekend, and will also attempt to share information about the system ROM's I dumped
My apologies, this will take me at least one more weekend
Don't worry, no one is in a hurry
