The PC-6601 is basicaly a [PC-6001 MK2](/museum/nec-pc-6001-mk-2/) with a built-in 3.5'' disk drive. The second optional disk drive could also be mounted. The N60m Basic od the PC-6001 MK2 has been enhanced to the N66 Basic.
|
||
|
||
The japanese adverts focused on the fact that this computer could sing with its optional speech synthesizer!
|
||
|
||
More info badly needed!
