The PC-6000 series is a series of 8-bit home computers introduced in November 1981 by NEC Home Electronics. There are several models in this series, such as the PC-6001,[2] the PC-6001 MK2[3] and the PC-6001 MK2 SR.[4] There is also an American version, called the NEC TREK or NEC PC-6001A.
Several peripherals were available for the system in North America, including an expander with three cartridge jacks (some of the cartridge-based games used two cartridges), a cassette-tape recorder, a 5.25" floppy disk drive, a printer, and a touchpad.
The PC-6000 series was followed by the PC-6600 series.
