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! -- John.
