I actually got one of those computers, specificaly the 101-p (pal) strangely this is noway adapted to spain (keyboard without Ñ and Ç) the stickers meaning static electricity near joystick plug and the ones near cartridges are in english In the rear the two A/V rca plugs are switched to one din plug (for a/v too)\
|
||||
I remember when you boot the computer the first you see is a GUI menú to choose the data bank options or go to basic, from basic you can go back to data bank typing "hitbit" in basic if you choose basic again the basic memory is preserved (this mean you are programming, go to data bank to take a note and then back to basic and keep the work on)
|
||||
|
||||
Also the data bank "feels" wath recording media is connected and offers his use from the grafical menú also does trespassing betwen media from tape to floppy or from cartridge to floppy, but this last only works on ram cartridges, no for games ;-)

The HB-101 is a standard [MSX1](/museum/msx-1/) system. It was produced in red and black cases (the red version being sold in Japan only).
|
||||
|
||||
It has a handle that can be pulled on the front of the keyboard to carry it easily. It also has a "Pause" Key which can freeze any program. A little joystick could also be inserted onto the cursor keys.
|
||||
|
||||
There is the same built-in software (Personal Data Bank) found on the HB-501. It is composed of an agenda, a memo and an address manager. You can even save your work with a special RAM cartridge.
|
||||
|
||||
The **HB-101P** is the same system, "P" meaning PAL, but was the european model. In fact the HB-101 is very similar to the **Sony HB-201** (more RAM) and the [HB-501](/museum/sony-hit-bit-501/) (more RAM and a tape recorder built in).
