Well me and a few other folks recently "rescued" a technical manual for
the PC-8201A from Ebay. It has lots of details useful to a programmer
writing information for this machine. 257 pages.
Chapter 15 is dedicated to hardware information.
Howver, it starts with the sentence "Refer to another technical manual
about the detail specion of PC-8201A's hardware. That manual has already
been by NECHE, Chicago. Please contact with them. In this r, only most
important data is listed up."
Does anyone have a copy of the hardware tech ref? It would be useful to
us in the remem project http://bitchin100.com/remem_project.html
Also any such manuals about the 8300, 8500, and Starlet would be
interesting to me as well.
I've tried to talk to NEC directly in the past, but they say clearly
that they "have no information on these antiques." Nice sense of
history...
Thanks!
