Does anyone have a manual for a NEC APC III computer? Failing that, does anyone know anything about the thing? I picked this thing up in a garage sale for parts and became intrigued when I noticed it had two 8086s in it and sockets for two 8087s. -Thanks, Jim Durham (durham@w2xo.pgh.pa.us)

I've never seen one with two 8086's and two 8087's on the motherboard, though I've probably seen six different variations of the PC-9801. I might still have a set of manuals on hand, but they're in Japanese. Although the computer was emphatically not a PC-compatible, it has more hardware compatibility with the PC than NEC let on. -- Mike Berger Department of Statistics, University of Illinois AT&TNET 217-244-6067 Internet berger@atropa.stat.uiuc.edu
