- nec pc88
-sharp x1
- nec pc6001
- casio pv1000
- bandai rx78

I don't know if this request is aimed at me, or just a call out into the ether,

but if it's aimed at me, then in the past when I covered a new system it took a minimum of two months work in research.

I'm no longer looking for more systems to cover, as I'm already over my limit work and stress wise, covering more and more systems for no personal benefit is not fun for me any more.

For that reason it's only something I will consider from my $10+ patreons.

If you back me for $10, you could pick one of these systems, which I would research and make a best effort attempt to cover (provided emulators and sufficient documentation actually exists for me to do so).

Hello, NitroFurano san.
From your list , Except mattel aquarius , other PCs looks designed in Japan . If you can read Japanese I recommend you to study about Z80 CPU itself in here , and self learn about these computer.

Especially saying about the PC in your list , my recommendation is PC-8801 mk2 SR by NEC. This PC has 640 by 200 dot screen and you can select 8 colours from 512 colours on the screen. Sound is ofcourse FM sound generator .
The technical documents about PC-8801 in Japanese are stored in 'archive.org' as follows . (one for exsample.)
If you search , there are more and more documents and Game images.
Saying about programming , there also a special assembler the Super BASE 80 (if you have huge lucky , you can find it also in 'archive.org' ) , it is a hidden treasure , top secret in Japanese old Z80 8bit PC .
Even though you can not find this treasure , you can use MACRO80 or other Z80 development tools.
