2024年11月2日 · The PC-8800 is a series of 8-bit home computers developed by NEC and first sold in December 1981 in Japan as an upgrade of the earlier NEC PC-8000 series. It was sold for over a decade and over a dozen models were released.

The PC-8800 series, commonly shortened to PC-88, are a brand of Zilog Z80-based 8-bit home computers released by Nippon Electric Company (NEC) in 1981 and primarily sold in Japan. The PC-8800 series sold extremely well and became one of the three major Japanese home computers of the 1980s, along with the Fujitsu FM-7 and Sharp X1.

They were used mostly as home computers (Commodore 64) or educational computers (Elwro 800 Junior, ZX Spectrum), but sometimes they were adapted to work as industrial process control computers (Meritum) or terminals (Robotron). They usually have 8-bit processor like Z80, MOS 65xx or Intel 8080.
