+      As told concerning the PC 6001 MK II, this computer is quite similar to an Amstrad CPC... and Like the british CPC664 or CPC6128 is supplied with in-built diskDrive.
+
+      But on CPC it was the "exotic" 3"inch diskdrive.
+
+      Would be fun to see if the two computers may actually be compatible provided some minor Hacks or emulation...

+
+The PC-6601 is basicaly a PC-6001 MK2 with a built-in 3.5'' disk drive. The second optional disk drive could also be mounted. The N60m Basic od the PC-6001 MK2 has been enhanced to the N66 Basic.
+
+The japanese adverts focused on the fact that this computer could sing with its optional speech synthesizer!
+
+More info badly needed!
