Nec PC-8001 mkII

Historia

A higher-performance, more graphically capable revision of the PC-8001, the Mark II debuted in March 1983 for a price of 123,000 yen. While its most obvious improvement was in its graphical capabilities, the Mark II also included an internal 5.25 floppy disk interface as well as two internal expansion slots, doing away with the need for an expansion box to permit upgrades. The internal BASIC was changed as well, from the 24KB N-BASIC to a 32KB N80-BASIC that added new conditional statements as well as graphics commands. While the price of the PC-8001mkII was comparable with other 8-bit computer offerings at the time, its graphics were notably worse than its competitors (most likely an attempt on NECs part to avoid competing with their own, higher-powered PC-8800 series). This led to a relative dearth of software produced for it, particularly games.
