The PC-9801 RX is a computer released as part of the PC-9800 series.

Hardware

The PC-9801 RX is 80286 version of the PC-9801 RA, making it nearly identical in its technical specifications with the earlier VX and UX lines; the only difference being a higher CPU clock speed. Games would continue targeting the earlier VX and UX lines and only occasionally mention they're compatible with the RX.
