The '''NEC PC-8801''' is the first computer in an 8 year long series of computers of similar model names. The PC-8801 was a computer system introduced by the [[NEC Corporation]] in [[1981]] and was an early Zilog Z80-based computer. The PC-88, as it is informally called, became very popular in Japan but did not see release in other markets. It was the successor of PC-8001, and offered fine color graphics. It also had an optional MS-Dos board. It was one of the first, if not ''the'' first color CPM computer. For its time, the PC-8801 offered a high display resolution, although it could only display 8 out of 512 colors simultaneously and the 640×400 mode was monochrome only. Its sound-producing capabilities were also more advanced than other machines of the time. | The '''NEC PC-8801''' is the first computer in an 8 year long series of computers of similar model names.
