These are great little machines. If considering acquiring on of these, be aware that the NEC PC-8201A has a somewhat different BASIC to the better known TRS-80 Model 100, for it, while sharing large portions of the ROM, being compatible to NEC's N85-BASIC. You can read about these differences between the various siblings (NEC PC-8201A, TRS-80 Model 100, Olivetti M10, and Kyotronic 85) in this little project log here (2016): https://www.masswerk.at/rc2016/01/ https://www.masswerk.at/rc2016/01/ (It was to be a cross-platform version of Maze War in MS BASIC, but it eventually became just a dungeon crawler.) Jamel Tayeb has a great page on these machines on his homepage, with lots of pictures and even videos: https://jameltayeb.com/2014/12/21/field-dream-machines/ https://jameltayeb.com/2014/12/21/field-dream-machines/
