Page "Konix Multisystem" Paragraph 8

Konix wanted the machine to use a 16-bit processor, so the Z80 was removed and replaced with an 8086 processor.

They also demanded that the colour palette be expanded to 4096 colours, the same as that of the Amiga.

To reduce manufacturing costs, the Flare One's four custom chips were integrated into one large chip.

In order to keep the cost of software down, it was decided that the software media would be 3. 5 ” floppy discs rather than ROM cartridges used universally by consoles up to that time.
