I started to import me a PC-9801 from japan. First at all i need it for some scsi based hardware that need the real hardware.
There serval models, at the time i found this working one.
It runs a 486 DX2 66 with 18MB RAM, has two IDE ports, a 34pin Floppy header as well. So perfect to run some games old/new.
The MB itself has no caps, but i recapped the PSU and add a new fan.
I added two HxC Slim board as floppy emulator. Got it working. Also primary IDE a CF adapter as boot HDD running Dos 6.20
For sound i choose a pc9801-86 and a Roland MPU-PC98II
Next step will be adding a front bay cf adapter for data transfer on second IDE port. System runs really great and its really impressive how easy c-bus works.
Also need to change the battery.
Here some shots *work in progress*:
Dos 6.22: Asus VL/I-486SV2GX4 Rev 2.0 1Mb L2 - A5x86 X5 P75 - 64MB RAM - Promise EIDE2300+ - ET4000W32P VLB - CT2230 - GUS ACE - MPU-401AT
Win98SE: Asus P5K-WS - E8600 @ 4,5GHz - Strange God Voodoo 5 6000 PCI @ 66MHz PCI-X - 2GB DDR2 1066 - Audigy 2 ZS
