history
PC-9801 was released by NEC on '82 for business purposes originally. This was the first 16-bit computer for NEC. The earliest one had i8086/5Mhz CPU and 128kbytes of main memory, the graphics capacity was 640x400 with digital 8 colours. Since their 8-bit computers, such as PC-6001, PC-8001, PC-8801, got decline in popularity presently, NEC set this machine to be their flagship. The best seller model was PC-9801VM (V30/8Mhz CPU and 384kb memory, dual 5inch FDDs) released on '85, and then PC-9801VX (i80286/10Mhz 1MB memory, 640x400 res. with analogue 16 colours of 4096 colours) followed. V30 is an Intel-compatible CPU developed by NEC. The latter is virtually the standard for following machines from NEC.
