The FM Towns is a Japanese personal computer, designed and manufactured by Fujitsu from 1989 to 1997. The “FM” part of the name means “Fujitsu Micro“, while the “Towns” part is derived from the code name that the system was assigned during development, “Townes”. This refers to Charles Townes, one of the winners of the 1964 Nobel Prize in Physics, following a custom at Fujitsu of naming PC products after Nobel Prize winners.
