Multi16 was Japanese first 16-bit personal computer. This machine is known as first **Shift-JIS** code machine.
|
|
|
|
Shift-JIS code is Chineese character's code defined by Microsoft. It met great success and became Japanese standard.
|
|
|
|
Multi-16 could be equipped with an optional hard disk unit. It was only 10 MBytes and costed over $4,000!
