    the 5.25" games boot from floppy.

    You'll find that the majority of games are 5.25" and 3.5" usually since PC-9801s are so old...

    Rising Stuff has a 5.25" unit. no 3.5" drives though. Its an ollllld model

    damn thats a nice find. Whered you nab that at, and how much!?



    Not sure on the keyboard. I use the one that came with mine. I'm not sure how specialized it really is. You might be able to use any old keyboard to be honest


    i use an old monitor with RGB for it, so depending what monitor you're using with the FM TOwns or x68k, you could be set already

    good luck hooking it up to an LCD monitor, lol. That will end in frustration.

    I can wait (it is not easy but it works) and i save a lot of money with surface.
    I have ordered 3 or 4 heavy systems with monitors over surface (X68k, FMT, 2x FMT UX) and i never had any problems. Shipping is from 1-3 months. It is every time a surprise with sea ^_^

    I run my +2A off of just the 5V @ 2A (with an old PC AT power supply), and as far as I can tell everything works fine. I don't know what the -12V is for, but it doesn't seem to be necessary.

    A question to you PC-9801 people: What do you see in this computer? I'm asking as somebody who can't speak Japanese, and there doesn't seem to be too much you can play if you don't understand the language. Most of the library seems to be RPGs and dating sims. Are there any good action style games for it? I've imported the PC-8801, PC-6001, and several other 8 bit Japanese computers, but I feel no need to get a PC-98. Am I missing out on anything?
