Re: [M100] NEC "PC-8434A utility disk"
I have both a Scarlet and PC-8500. So if it is indeed for them, I'd be interested too.

Guess I would expect the number to be the same as the model of the disk drive, which the System Disk also has. In any case it does sound like it would almost have to be extra CP/M-related stuff for the NEC PC-8401A (Starlet) & PC-8500 CP/M machines that use the NEC PC-8431A disk system. If you would care to get rid of it, I'll gladly take it off your hands (for whatever you wish) and add it to my NEC archive of stuff. Gary On Sat, Aug 26, 2017 at 7:33 PM, John R.

Nope says 8434a. It may have come with a pc8441a crt / disk adapter. Or it could have be thrown in with some other nec stuff. -- John.
