Well, this is going to be interesting. A new toy arrived today. NEC PC-2001 'handheld' computer - bigger than the 'pokecon' calculators.

It was listed as 'junk / non-working'.

It works. Now to clean it up and figure it out! I'm familiar with the NEC PC-8201 series so this should be similar(?) How hard can it be!! :D

First step: Learn Japanese. The manual isn't available in English. I tried a google translate of the PDF and it churned out gems like:
- It is a hunty-type computer. Key features of wood machines include: Sea urchin. 1 We recommend that you be stunned.
- Please do not disassemble this machine because it will become a prisoner of the accident.
- Do not throw Tsushikawazumi's pond into fire. (There is a risk of bending over)
- [3] Make sure that one of the connected devices is ON, and then turn on the PC2001's
Tuyuan . For the PC2001 liquid and blood samples

Ah, this will be a fun distraction...
