I’m mostly focused on large scale systems as of late, but that’s not to say that I don’t find microcomputers fascinating. And one such machine I’ve had that’s been on the back burner for literal years is this NEC PC-8001. It’s time to get this thing up and running, and maybe even take it for a proper test drive!
