The PC-6000 series (PC-6000シリーズ) is a range of computers manufactured between November 1981 and 198x by NEC.
The PC-6000 series began with the launch of the PC-6001, being offered as a cheaper alternative to NEC's more high-end PC-8800 series which debuted around the same period.
With the advent of the PC-9800 series in 1982, the PC-8800 series effectively took the place of the PC-6000. It had something of a resurgence with the PC-6600 series, whose technical specifications derive from the PC-6001 mkII, but the two branches are largely incompatible due to the addition of a 3½-inch floppy disk drive, which was used to run software. Conversely, the PC-6000 series typically ran its software from compact cassette, though cartridges and 5¼-inch floppies were also supported.
