+
+The X68000 Pro is the successor of the [X68000 Expert](/museum/sharp-x68000-expert/).
+
+It was launched in the same time than the X68000 Pro II and seems to have the same characteristics. However it has a new main board and the stereo scope port has been removed.
+
+A X68000 Expert II HD (for Hard-Disk) was also produced.
