NEC PC-6001

NEC · 1981

NEC's home machine, sold beside the business PC-8001 with cartridge slots and a chiclet keyboard, and nicknamed PaPa-Com. Weaker than its stablemate on purpose and consequently not much loved at the time. Interesting now as the cheap end of the Japanese market and as a machine rarely seen outside it.
