Can anyone speculate what's attached to the bottom of this Model 100 listed for sale? At first I thought "Bookster Pak", but it doesn't have the clips on the side, plus it has green & red LEDs on the front and what looks like a cut-off cable connector on the back. The whole unit looks like it

Yep black pla+ I also print a gotek case to fit in the 5.25" bay.. It works like the amiga version, except there's no software loader you have to select the images on the drive, optionally a oled screen you can see the whole file name on and also optionally a rotary encoder to select otherwise

I opened my NEC PC-8508A ROM/RAM Cartridge today.  It was, of course, just like your's pictured below but my ROM sockets (4) were white.  So clearly the NEC PC-8500 was designed to employ option ROMs.  Still not sure if any were made or if the Real Estate and Expert I & II program advertised

I’ve had my T102 open yesterday, the most recently replace caps were 54 and 55, and they are now still looking good. I did do some tests without display or keyboard connected. When I power on without either there was not a single noise to be heard. However, when I connect the display it comes

As an owner of a Starlet, I have a 32k cartridge that lets me use the full 64k for CP/M. That's the only change I see. I also have the expansion cartridge that lets you connect a monitor and a floppy. I don't have the floppy (yet?), but I do have the monochrome cable and have connected it to a

Any NEC PC-8500/Starlet owners or folks familiar?To keep it short, in 64K Mode, all the 64K in the computer is assigned to the OS and all the RAM in the cartridge is for storage.  Is that correct? The NEC PC-8508A ROM/RAM Cartridge...is there a "ROM" socket in there? Thanks. Chris
