+Nearly nothing is known about this obscure system. Help welcomed.
+
+Apparently Casio released the PV-1000 and a [PV-2000 computer](/museum/casio-pv-2000/) in 1983. But both systems are not compatible with each others... Though one may think they are based on the same hardware, they have in fact completely different architecture.
+
+The PV-1000 is powered by a Z80A micro-processor. There is only 2 KB RAM available, plus 1 KB devoted to the character generator. The resolution if 256 x 192 pixels with 8 colours.
+
+Around 15 cartidges were released for the PV-1000, including famous arcade hits like Pooyan, Amidar, Tutankhamon, and Dig-Dug.
+
+Casio also released (the same year) two other systems, [PV-7](/museum/casio-pv-7/) and [PV-16](/museum/casio-pv-16/) which were MSX computers. It could be interesting to find the links between these four PV-xxx systems. Were the PV-1000 / 2000 released before or after the MSX adventure tempted by Casio ? etc...
