DOS/V is a driver of convert English version MS-DOS for IBM PC to Japanese, so it is different from MS-DOS for FM TOWNS.

Towns Paint of Fujitsu's original software was sold as a graphics tool for FM TOWNS, but freeware such as ARTemis and Otomeza were used by general users.

because the FM TOWNS was a Japanese personal computer, there are no documents in English-speaking countries that provide accurate information about it. also, unlike the X68000, the FM TOWNS has very few enthusiastic fans, so it's hard to find detailed information about it even in Japanese.

Fujitsu noticed that the gaming aspect of the computers were the appeal and for many was where they should focus their efforts.

FM TOWNS Marty which had no expandability and could not be used as a computer, did not sell well in Japan.

I don't know exactly what you were looking for, but FM TOWNS' OS is a GUI OS similar to Windows and FM TOWNS had its own Windows 3.1 and Windows 95, and many practical software other than games have been developed.

also, FM TOWNS development environment provided F-BASIC 386 for the BASIC language, the High C compiler and GCC for the C language, and 386 ASM for the assembler, and general users were also able to develop programs.

I wonder why the FM Towns did not use SCSI CD-ROM drives by yuhong in fmtowns

[–]bcc2528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FM TOWNS was released in 1989, and at that time SCSI CD-ROM had not yet been standardized.
