2024年10月21日 - 日立MB-H50 The Hitachi MB-H50 has a distinct look to it. It has a slim appearance and discrete ports. It has LEDs that react to audio levels. It has a detachable keyboard but it is not a desktop-style unit the way most MSX models with detachable keyboards are. In fact, the main unit has a console-style appearance. 続き⇒ |

2024年10月02日 - ソニー CPS-14F1 The Sony CPS-14F1 has a beautiful picture and primarily connects by JP-21 or multiRGB, however you want to call it. It also had composite video input. This makes it a pretty flexible monitor, being able to accommodate computer systems like the FM77AV series and Sony's SMC-777 series, as well as all of the MSX2 and above systems, and a whole slew of game consoles. 続き⇒ |

2024年09月18日 - シャープ X68030 This article covers two X68030s: one that didn't work properly from the get-go, I poured a lot of money into it, and it still didn't work right, and the other that did work properly right off the bat, but cost a lot of money anyway. 続き⇒ |

2024年09月15日 - X68030カード電卓 I got this calculator as part of an X68030 system set. At first I didn't think too much of it, I've seen these calculators semi-frequently, but I went to do a Google search for it because I wanted to know how people refer to these devices. So I searched for "X68030 電卓" and when I wasn't making any headway with that, I tried "X68030 calculator", but this too returned surprisingly little in terms of reference. 続き⇒ |

2024年09月12日 - ソニー HB-T7 The Sony HB-T7 is a fairly introductory-level MSX2 machine, but it decidedly had its own twist. It was one of few machines that specifically targeted computer telecommunications enthusiasts. It had a dial-up modem before much of the general population was aware of what the Internet was. BBS fans or those interested in taking advantage of very specific services, I guess. It has a high-tech look to it with its sleek black and grey theme and translucent red covers for LED indicators that I couldn't really use. 続き⇒ |

2024年09月02日 - 視力検査・PC-8001 Here's something you don't see everyday. It's a vision measurement tool for the PC-8001. To establish some form of accuracy, they expect you to use a standard NEC 12" monochrome monitor for the test, and you are supposed to stand 5 meters away from the screen. 続き⇒ |

2024年09月01日 - NEC PC-8001mkII I've been picking up a few computers recently, mostly MSX, that I don't really intend to keep but I think are unique enough that I want to give them a test run and photograph them for the blog. The NEC PC-8001mkII is one such machine. I have the PC-8001 and PC-8001mkIISR, which is already pretty redundant, but as the aesthetics and materials are strikingly different I allow them to co-exist so far. The PC-8001mkII sits between them and lacks the tank-like build of the PC-8001, and does everything the PC-8001mkIISR does except the FM sound. Overall, it's hard to give it a permanent home with my lack of space. But it is a cool computer, and had I not gotten a reasonable deal on the SR variant, I probably would have ended up with this, as it's a lot cheaper! 続き⇒ |

2024年08月31日 - ナショナルTR-120M1C I bought a JR-100 set off Mercari a few weeks ago. It included a JR-100 computer, the expansion unit, the required dedicated power supply unit for the expansion unit, a few books and manuals, a joystick, and this monitor - the National TR-120M1C. I turned on the JR-100 plugged into the monitor and... 続き⇒ |

2024年08月18日 - パナソニック FS-A1 The first release of the Panasonic FS-A1 came in two colors: boring black and rad red. I mean, the black one is also quite handsome, with its orange accents, but black is pretty laid-back and unobtrusive while red is more eye-catching and statement-making. Opinions are opinions and they're all their own special treasures and all that, but Yahoo Auctions closing prices, while there are a lot of variables at play, point to the red variant being far rarer and somewhat more expensive on average. Look at it, it's easy to see the appeal! 続き⇒ |

2024年08月02日 - プリンタプロッタ・パソピア7 As part of the lot of Pasopia7 peripherals I recently purchased, I picked up this printer/plotter. I would not have purchased this by itself, I don't really want a printer of any sort in my collection, with the one exception of the built-in printer in the MZ-700, which gets its pass because it takes up but the tiniest bit of extra space (but unfortunately, it also doesn't have pens yet). 続き⇒ |
