Introduction
Diskmagazine released in January 1991 by MSX Club Gouda and the FCS team, initially known as Silent Software.
Tips:
- this edition is without musical background
- the intro includes a very small hardware report and the first appearance of Jack Vetnek, the FCS mascot with his often very unpredictable words
- the intro and the magazine use a RAM version of the runtime compiler X-BASIC (file INTRO.001 with CALL GOUDA IN and CALL GOUDA UIT as replacements for CALL TURBO ON and CALL TURBO OFF)
