John, you were right... The screen flashing was just due to a low (actually, none installed) backup battery. The WP-2 arrived today and is in practically pristine cosmetic shape and seemingly perfect working order - a lucky find for a very reasonable price. I will want to upgrade the RAM, but

[M100] NEC PC-8300 128K System ROM replacements

2019-02-02 Thread Gary Weber
