Like the video. This is also a favorite of mine. I had an 8201A, long after
the fact, but I had the additional external VDP adapter, and an external
floppy disk drive for mine. I never did figure out how to get the disk
system to work on the system I had since it was second hand and came with
no software, and that was in the early days on online/internet where I
could have asked someone for assistance. I remember calling up NEC for help
and they were not much good then.
A thrift store here locally had a PC-8500, which looks a bit like a Tandy
Model 200. I passed on it and regretted it later, but someone had beat me
to the punch when I went back to retrieve it. ;)

Another of my vintage computers on YouTube. This time
that lesser
known sibling of the TRS-80 Model 100, the NEC PC-8201a.
