What a lovely looking system you've got there.

For some reason, the PC-98 platform (particularly its fair share of Windows versions) has piqued my interest ever since I got back into Windows betas in 2012/13. I wonder if that system can run the PC-98 version of Windows 2000 (it had very limited hardware support on that platform).

Those use an exotic floppy disk format don't they?

Is this too much voodoo?

Oh man, I'm always glad to see more Japanese computers. Aside from a few buying guides and a handful of cursory videos on YouTube I haven't seen much. That thing is super imposing too, very beefy. What are you planning to run on it? I have at least one PC-98 on my to-grab list so I can stumble my way through Giten Megami Tensei and whatever other oddballs I can get my hands on.

Edit: I found a video about you.

I spend my days fighting with clunky software so I can afford to spend my evenings fighting with clunky hardware.
