The Nec PC-8801FA replaced the PC-88FH.
|
|
|
|
This machine had really powerful sound functions. 6 FM channels could be separated into left and right. User could thus enjoy stereo sound through headphones or external speakers.
|
|
|
|
ADPCM could change sound's frequency dynamically. 256 KB of RAM were provided as sound memory buffer. It was larger than main memory.
|
|
|
|
N88 BASIC offered extended function for controlling these sound features, but not enough. Some of them couldn't be used with BASIC.
|
|
|
|
The PC-8801FA met a great success in japanese market.
