The PC-9801 BX3 is a model in the PC-9800 series. It's the successor to the PC-9801 BX2

Hardware

The PC-9801 BX3, like every model in the 98 Fellow line, is basically a lower-grade version of the PC-9821 series models; less RAM and no 256 color mode.

Like it's predecessors. The main difference between the two PC-9801 Bx3 models is the the smaller memory for the PC-9801 BX3, the different processor for the PC-9801 BA3 and the CPU clock speed; 33MHz for the PC-9801 BX3 and 60MHz for the PC-9801 BA3.

The PC-9801 BX3/U2/W comes with a Windows Accelerator expansion board already installed on the machine.
