Revision as of 17:02, 22 September 2015
Because my initial list was incomplete.
At some point the PC-98 goes out of scope. They just become awkward Windows machines, running awkward Windows software... awkwardly. I'm still learning about the hardware - I don't know where the cut-off point should be (if there should even be one) - so I'm going to collect a bunch of pretty pictures instead.
Not doing: servers, laptops, weird novelty crap. Not yet.
Hope you like your beige plastic boxes.

Squirrel's thoughts
I could probably just wait until someone like Akane turns up and tells us how to do things properly, but that's less fun. Most of the variations concern different floppy disk drives and hard drive space - sometimes you get some clock speed differences too which might affect games? Don't know (yet)?
PC-9801
|It's the first one.
PC-9801 F
Speed boost and mouse support. So strategy games in particular might fall under this category.
- PC9801F.jpg
- PC9801M.jpg
PC-9801 VM
This uses NEC's pseudo-8086 processor, the V30. It's better than the last two and is the point where this line started to dominate.
- PC9801VM.jpg
PC-9801 U
3.5-inch floppy disks. You can probably get a VM to run these with extras but as this wasn't a feature at the start of the V30 range... bleh.
- PC9801UV.jpg
PC-9801 VX
80286 machine. There's some similar machines with floppies. They kept making 286 machines into the 90s - I'm hoping it's just cheaper re-skins rather than new hardware
- PC9801VX.jpg
- PC9801UX.jpg
- PC9801RX.jpg
PC-9801 RA
80386 machine.
- PC9801RA.jpg
- PC9801DA.jpg
- PC9801DS.jpg
PC-9801 FA
80486 machine and possibly the point where we stop caring.
