Yes it's on eBay right now. The price is already quite high. Search for the NEC
and it will come up.
The CRT unit is really the key item. Although the drive is intriguing to me. I
have been tempted to try and emulate it with mComm but I suspect there are two
things that I would run into.1) I suspect there is a special boot disk that has
the code that gets loaded.
2) Not having a drive unit, it would likely be impossible to reverse engineer
how the NEC and the drive communicate on boot up.3) Even if items 1 and 2 could
be solved, TS-DOS in ROM kind of makes it pointless.
About the only advantage would be to have the drive connected to the RJ45 port
and still have the serial port for other activities. I'm not sure how that
would work out if there were two connections at the same time since there is
really only 1 serial port that can switch between three ports on the back.

Is this an auction? I'm missing the link to whatever it is that's being talked

I've had my eye out for the CRT adapter for a long time. But with three kids in
college, the funds are being used elsewhere. Hope you are able to get it.
The Disk drive is interesting. As I have read, the NEC units test to see if the
drive is attached on boot and if it is, they load the extended basic. Has
anyone ever documented this process or captured the extended disk basic?

Thanks for the head's up, Kurt. My CRT adapter has become defective and I
don't know how to repair it; I will hopefully get a functional replacement

Already above when I have on hand but someone will score on this auction.
