LGR - NEC PC-8801 Update: It Works!

After sourcing an RGB cable for my Sony KV-1311CR display, I was able to check out a little bit of the functionality of the original PC-8801 computer from Japan! More work to do still, but it's a start. Background music is "All Is Good Again 2" by Magnus Ringblom

With the right cable, the IBM CGA should work with that monitor in TTL mode as well. It would be cool to know if it has the dark yellow -> brown correction.

Ah, back in the day when CNTR-C meant stop / interrupt rather than copy.

In theory, absolutely should! I don't have the skills to make a conversion cable, but I'd love to see it done

Marvellous. Simply marvellous. Very exciting progress indeed!

Awesome that you got the right cable for it! Though, side curiosity, have you ever tried running that Sony TV with RGB output from game consoles like the SNES or Genesis? Either way, really awesome computer dude! :)

I'd love to try some RGB consoles on this, and in theory it should work just fine, but I haven't been able to source cables for it

Glad to see this beast is coming alive! If your interested in assistance, I live in Japan, and would be glad to assist you with obtaining any equipment, cables, or whatever as needed. I can even go wander in Akihabara for hours on end.

6:05 "I'm not there *yet*." Hmm, has someone been studying in his free time? :)

Thanks a lot for the offer! I'm mostly on the lookout for the software for the PC-8801 series at this point. Cassette games and software is particularly hard to find, but even the 5.25" disk games for later systems would be great to track down.
