2020年05月27日 - 東芝パソピア The Pasopia by Toshiba seems not to be as famous as others like the PC-6001, MZ-700, X1, or FM-7. But cool, it’s a road a little less traveled. Mine’s a little banged up, but overall pretty clean. 続き⇒ |

2020年02月18日 - NEC PC-6001mkII This is another system I had initially decided I didn’t want to get. As I mentioned before, I didn’t want the NEC PC-6001, because I’d tried the PC-6601SR, which was supposedly the top of the top of the PC60/66 group, and I wasn’t especially interested in it (although in retrospect, I could have tried harder). But the quirkiness and frankly the cheapness of the PC-6001 won me over. All of the cost-saving measures they put into the machine made it a unique experience. Despite, or perhaps because of, its ugly green background and peculiarly designed keyboard, I ended up liking it quite a bit. 続き⇒ |

2020年02月10日 - 富士通OASYS 30-SX401 I've always had a distant interest in Japanese word processors, but I had pretty much made up my mind not to get one. They're big and bulky and it's taking up a considerable amount of floor space in my room. 続き⇒ |

2020年02月02日 - シャープX68000 EXPERT Now I will take the opportunity to post about my X68000 Expert itself. As I mentioned in my previous post, which details the various stops along the way of getting an X68000, this was a serviced and guaranteed working system, meaning it was not cheap. But these are such problem-prone machines I wanted to have the best chance possible of continued operation. 続き⇒ |

2019年11月23日 - FM TOWNS 2Fの買い直し I’ve been spending more time on alternatives to Yahoo Auctions these days. Right now, there is a small window of opportunity for buyers using the PayPay Flea Market application. Because this is a new channel for selling off your old stuff, they are running a free-shipping promotion to improve brand recognition and increase the number of items for sale. 続き⇒ |

2019年09月30日 - NEC PC-8801MA2 I was a little hesitant about this one at first. I couldn’t tell if I had a few bad disks or if there was something wrong with a drive or the controller, but I’m growing a little more confident that the disks were at fault and the computer is fine. 続き⇒ |

2019年07月31日 - COMMODOREマックスマシーン When I think about my Japanese vintage computer collection, I tend to think of the FM-77 (which I no longer have) as my first system, and the Sony HB-F1XD as the one I’ve had longest. But neither of those are true. My first computer in this collection is the MAX Machine. It doesn’t come to mind first because I tend to group Commodore separately. And admittedly it doesn’t get used much, because it does nothing that my Commodore 128 can’t do. But it’s still an interesting piece of computing history! 続き⇒ |

2019年07月15日 - コモドール６４ Wait, what? What is this doing here? The Commodore 64 is as American as apple pie, right? This is a Japanese Vintage Computer Collection blog, no? Commodore has a lesser-known side to it – Commodore Japan. 続き⇒ |

2019年06月29日 - 富士通FM TOWNS 2F I’ve had my eyes on FM Towns ever since I started paying attention to the Japanese vintage computing market. It had always been in the back of my mind to get one, but they can be pretty expensive and it was something I decided I would just put off until later. I was certainly not expecting to buy one right now, because my room is hitting a tipping point in storage, and I’d just picked up a second X1 a few days before. 続き⇒ |

2019年06月24日 - シャープ X1 D Since I began vintage computing, I’ve had two rules:
1. Don’t get two machines with the same function.
2. Don’t get more than you can comfortably store. 続き⇒ |
