NEC's PC-98D0 can run both PC-8801MA2 and PC-9801 VM11 software

the PC-98D0 primarily for junior and senior high school students
who are interested in the PC-8801 computer's capabilities.
 
The PC-98D0 has two microprocessors, a 10-MHz V30 and the 8-MHz
mPD70008AC-8 (Z80-compatible), with system reset for selection
between PC-8800 mode and PC-9800 mode. Other features include
640K bytes of main memory, two 5,-inch floppy disk drives, and a
9801-compatible expansion slot.
 
Price: 298,000 yen.
