I recently picked up a complete-in-box PC-8001. It consisted of the computer, the instruction manuals, a compact BASIC reference pamphlet, monochrome video cable, CMT cable, system demo tape, and the manufacturer's warranty. It was all in great condition. ![]() ![]() ![]() The machine booted up fine and the keyboard worked well, so I took the opportunity to play River Rescue. Save people from drowning in the river, but it's quite easy to accidentally run them over with your boat, resulting in death. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Someone had applied the labels to the keycap fronts. This usually leads to a dirty keyboard with gunk forming around the edges of the labels, but this was basically immaculate, and the labels were applied with far more precision than most. Nicely done! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The demo tape includes a variety of programs that show off the potential of the PC-8001. This 3D-rendered object is no doubt impressive for 1979, but the draw time was something like ten minutes. Pretty cool, though! ![]() ![]() ![]() Here's a look at the rest of the contents. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The box was a little rough-looking on top, but the rest was surprisingly nice. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And it also came with a couple of goodies: a PSG (programmable sound generator) and a board to plug into the option ROM socket (function currently unknown). ![]() ![]() |
