Need help with finding info on Pocket Fujica 200 camera

Xenonym:
Hello! I know this is probably not the best forum to post this, but you people seem better at finding stuff on the net then I am, and maybe some of you will know personally what this thing is.

So I went on my semi-annual trip to visit my relatives in Indonesia, and one of them passed me this, thinking I might be interested in it and also because they were clearing space.

Now I tried to look for information about the Fujica on the net, but all I could find about it was people selling it. (Probably not a good sign.)

I would like to ask all of you to tell me anything you people know or can find out about this camera (cause I am interested in using it).

What I would really like to know:
Does it take colour or b&w?
Does it take batteries?
What film does it take?
Where would I get the film?

Thanks to of all of you in advance for the help!

Looks like a 110.

And, yes it is:

Pocket 200

(1977) 29mm (f11.0), (3/3) fixed-focus lens. Mechanical shutter with speed of 1/60. No exposure control. Tripod and cable release sockets.  Built-in UV filter.  Designed for 100 ASA film.  Since the camera does not use the film perforations to cock the shutter, this camera can be reloaded with 16mm film -- in 110 cassettes -- if the cassette is notched on the bottom edge to allow the shutter to trip.

Oh... Just to note... You'll likely need to custom order 110 film and flashes for it. Don't expect it to be cheap.

They must have a really small house if this is needed to be removed to clear space :D

I'd just keep it for old times sake, and try to use it for anything, it's so darned old you will be hard pressed to find the proper material for it to make pictures onto, and then a service to get them developed. A (cheap) digital camera (~us$100,-) will probably be cheaper after about 5 or 10 full rolls of pictures, and give much better foto quality and ease of use (delete bad/fuzzed up pictures), and the printing cost will be lower or equal.
