Sakhr AX170
Sometimes you don't think things can't get anymore obscure but the Msx was infact released for the arabic market.
From wikipedia we learn:
"In the 1980s, Sakhr (صخر) Computers (Developed by Al Alamyyeh, a Kuwaiti company), started the production of the first Arabian version of MSX computers. They started producing a Yamaha AX100, but also a few other models including MSX2 models. The most popular and affordable model in the Arab states of the Persian Gulf was the Sakhr MSX AX170. They were also the first to Arabize BASIC and the MSX LOGO"
