2GKSA10817

Looks like 10817 is the number production, if so, then the guess less than 99999 Turbo R were manufactured back in 1990~1992 is correct.

This is understandable, they had X68000, PC98, FM-Towns, PC Engine!, NES, SNES!, etc, at that time.

Besides, the MSX were always sold as "console game", or "video game", rather than a Personal Computer, or just a Computer.

turboR was marketed as an office computer and probably only served a niche market.

Actually, the MSX Turbo R is a Personal Computer!
It is written on the machine.

Personal Computer FS-A1ST.
MSX Turbo R.

It would work with most of the old CP/M 80 software ...
There is the integrated Word Processor with Kanji ROM support too!
